Uri

this will depend on if your friend wants a NEW computer or a USED computer
on Ebay you can find old computers such as the Mephisto Miami which will play
about 1900 Elo and it is portable..with peg sensory board

if he must have a NEW computer then the strongest one avaialable today is the
Novag Star Ruby

it will cost about $125 but perhaps on Ebay you can find a new one for less

it will also have lcd pieces and play at above 2000 Elo

it contains the strong Wchess engine by Dave Kittenger

even stronger is the Novag Star Sapphire -close to 2200 Elo but it is no longer
made as new
he could only get this as a used computer

Best
