I want to begin playing keyboard and was wondering if there was a keyboard with weighted keys for around 100 or so bucks.
Nope.
might be able to get a midi keyboard, not too sure if you can get one with weighted keys for that price though

With that one you're gonna a powerful computer with software aswell, as it is just an external controller and not a synthesizer (you will not be able to play anything with it stand-alone).
The only keyboard you'll get at that price is something from Walmart.

I've got a Oxygen 49 and you really don't need a powerful computer at all. My Asus 1000HE netbook did fine with it playing different synths. Of course this is with ASIO drivers. Unless he plans on playing live, something like the Oxygen 49 would work just fine.
C'mon man they're like $20

I have the 61 key version of this. It's a good MIDI controller, but be warned that it's just that. If you have a Mac, then you have GarageBand. If you have GarageBand, you have a sample library. You can play and record through GarageBand, if you have a MIDI controller, but the controller itself has no sounds. Basically, you need some sort of synthesizer to hook up to this controller in order to make it work, and that's where it gets expensive. The controller itself is great.
