Well, I would definitely advise him to buy USB hubs.

Explanation:

USB hub is a device that can give additional USB slot for the user just by consuming one single slots. In recent years, USB hubs can contain more than 9 slots with different variety, including HDMI and DVI that is required by this particular friend.

Using this device will make it easier to plug in and plug out all the devices he wants to his laptop since it all connected to one single hub.

Since he only has the budget under 100$, Dell DA300 6-in-1 USB-C Hub could be a good option for Him.
