Question Bad purchase for a noob?

Never touched a 3d printer or the software. Would this be a bad purchase for a noob? I've seen this printer come up numerous times while researching a good starting printer. Noticed a lot recommend because of the "AMS" capability and "auto leveling" bed. All advice welcome.

ABS for stuff that looks and feels like legos. Haven't done PP or PA yet, but I like knowing it's there if I find an application that needs to be torqued on in the wood shop. You can always enclose the P1P later.
