Hmm I don't think any NEW laptop would be under 500$ I'm only 11 and my dad bought me a laptop that costs like 1000 dollars. Since your son is only using it for his homework and nothing else; maybe get a USED laptop. He will just do some researches. Well the used laptop might need repair....depends on how the current owner treats it. A new one is definitely fine.
Well I don't know about 2-3 hour battery of course laptops USED and NEW would have the amount. If it's used don't worry, there will still be enough battery limit because the batter limit never changes on a laptop. An excellent brand I would suggest is:
Windows
Dell
Mac
they are really good programming computer
good luck with your son.
