I'm glad someone brought this up... I am about to buy an external hard drive as well as a Christmas present and was wondering about the gigs. I was debating on a 500 or 750 GB - He keeps a lot of music and movies on his Mac. Any suggestions on the memory size?

It depends on what he considers "a lot" AND if he is one who constantly downloads music and movies.
I would always err toward the larger size, but that's because I know my downloading habits well.

He is a constant downloader - from iTunes to movies to whatever. I like your point about erring on the side of a larger size. I'd hate for it to fill up and have to buy another one. Thanks!

For a laptop, I would go with the Western Digital Passport HD. You can get it up to 250 GB and it's perfect for travel. Additionally, it draws power from your usb port, so no external power source required.
You can get a much larger one for about the same price, I believe I've seen like 1 TB for about $300-but that would defeat the purpose of even having a laptop...not portable at all.
