He's 9, and will really only use it to word process and go on sites like Club Penguin, Webkinz, etc. I'm sure the machine will also get some use by myself and my wife for email and general web browsing, and the boy also wants to use some kind of software for uploading/editing/creating short videos of his lego guys in action.
The budget is around 500...is this feasible? Any and all thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Be extremely careful when giving a kid a laptop.
My Kid played a kiddy type game club penguin game and met up with a predator. Set down ground rules IE ...only use it on common areas of your house. Know what they are doing and learn about it.
