While quality of these do vary, I have had good experience with these very cheap units. Note that you need to program these devices via a USB cable and an FTDI programmer (you can also find one on ebay for a few dollars). I would recommend for someone new to Arduino that you get an Arduino uno / sparkfun redboard (or a chinese clone of one of these) - they have the programmer built into the board (so you just plug it via USB to your computer). They also have headers soldered onto the board already, so you can connect sensors, LEDs, etc without soldering, which is good for getting started.
