Does he need all the music on the laptop all the time - if it won't fit on a laptop (and anything HD based will be quite spacious these days) he can always have an external USB drive.
I agree a 14" laptop might be more useful size... but you'll find laptops with 15.6" screens cheaper and more of a selection. Definitely see if you can get Windows 7 IMO but you might struggle now unless you buy something without an OS and install yourself.
I think Ultra books (including MacBook Airs) are dropping Ethernet connections and rely on either WiFi or a USB Ethernet adapter.
