Well, Frontier delivered rock solid on schedule for everything they promised. So i expect it will be no different for the mac version. They said, mac release will be approximately 3 months after the PC version, which would be march 2015. And you need some time to kill the bugs, which would mean, the beta should be starting in the not so far future. And even if beta starts in march with final release 3 months later or so, it is a time span one can endure... just remember all those poor people waiting on that other space game, that devours all that time and millions of dollars... We will get, what was promised, soon.
I am happily playing ED on my PC, but as an 11 year old I used to play the original with a mate of mine. He is a Mac user and as yet unable to play. Have there been any details of when this will be available.
I think the last I heard was "about three months after PC release", but I've heard nothing since.

Mac Version Update
I backed ED when the Mac version was announced.
There's not a lot of information coming out of Frontier about progress on the Mac version. The Development Updates I've seen recently don't mention it.
I'm sure there are a lot of Mac users / backers out there who would appreciate regular updates on the Mac version.
We are a month into the "3 months after the PC version" with no idea how things are progressing.

It must be a fairly low spec machine as my seven year old desk top managed to stay above 30 FPS and that was with an Athlon x4 925 and a passively cooled HD7550 (i think). What mac does you son have, all you need to do is check the spec to see if it will be any better, no need to just hope.
Beta testing for mac was meant to start about 3 months after the retail launch, which was the 22nd December so you are going to be looking towards the end of march I would have thought.

Don't know, but the beta is due end of this month.
I think the mods are finally cracking under the strain.
Lets see, what fridays newsletter will offer. I am hardly keeping my patience... Controlling iTunes with my X-55 HOTAS while wearing a surround sound game headset isnt really satisfying and looks somewhat stupid... Ok, i'll be firing up bootcamp later, but i am glad when i can finally uninstall it. So far i can only repeat what i constantly promote here on the forums... FD is showing constant effort to deliver best quality right on schedule and keep the customers satisfied. Cant be long now.
