80 bucks would probably get you a 240gb sata SSD and another 4gb of ram on Kampuchea Krom, so definitely worth it if it can take it.
Eighty bucks or just a bit more would get you a whole better not so old computer though so I'm not sure there's much point in that.
If 80 bucks gets him another year or two use, it's worth it.
A sub $300 used laptop will probably be slower than what he's got already, and still need an SSD and more ram.
SSDs start around $50, and with a clean OS install would be enough to revive an old machine.
