I know this is a smell but it clearly shows a removable card http://www.legitreviews.com/article/349/3/

But they are installing an 7800 go into it so the cards are available

Like you say though, thats a smell laptop. these are the only ones I have seen that take these cards. If you try searching ebay for example you will only find these cards listed as dell spares. So basicly I think dell may have some type of special deal with the manufacturers to produce these cards and the laptops that take them.

At the end of the day it depends what he needs it for.
If it is for simple web surfing / E-mail and typing up Word documents, then a £350 laptop will do nicely.
