In summary, when deciding on a telescope for a beginner, there are several factors to consider. These include the type of telescope (refractor, reflector, or compound), the aperture size, and the mount. It is also important to budget for additional accessories such as eyepieces and filters. It is recommended for beginners to start with a smaller aperture and simpler mount to gain experience before investing in more advanced equipment. Ultimately, the best telescope for a newbie will be one that fits their budget and aligns with their specific interests and goals in astronomy.

I happened to find this site looking for a telescope. I am a newbie to telescopes. I had a cheap department store telescope about 30 years ago.
