So let him still use that laptop. Buy him good mouse, keyboard (he already has a monitor) and replace drive if he still using hdd. 250 euros is not money you can spend if you're looking for much better option.

Why not just get an SSD and more RAM for his ProBook? You can't build anything better for the money anyway

You're better off looking at maybe a new battery from HP - those run around 100 or a refurbished EliteBook from their outlet.

A docking station perhaps? Or a better keyboard/ mouse. I mean, you could also look for a refurbished elitedesk but it's going to be a needless reinstall of the OS and everything else on the drive
