I think this will work as long as no one makes to much fun of his typing/spelling with the smaller key board.I've got a 14" Lenovo Ideapad 3 with 8Gig RAM and 512G SSD I can send him. I have 2 of them I use for testing and don't need 2 of them.
If everyone thinks it's a good idea I'll wipe it and send it to him probably tomorrow.
Just let me know your thoughts.
We have to make some fun of his spelling/typing and he kinda likes it.
