That's no problem. The Greek fonts (alphabet) comes with Windows. Ask in the shop that they show you how to install it.

The fonts can be changed on the Operating System by choosing another country. I would look for a laptop that enables an external keyboard to be connected. So he may use a greek keyboard at home. Also you will need a plug adapter to fit to the continental two-pole round prong outlets (type C of attached source). Source: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs_c

You probably have to order the laptop with a Greek language interface on Windows (it costs extra) if thats what you mean. Otherwise he can simply activate another language for typing in Greek in Windows. For Windows XP : Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Details > Text services and input Languages > Add > Greek > OK Laptop power supplies are usually capable of operating everywhere but you will need to get an extra adapter to match the plugs used in Greece.
