What coins are best for noobs?

[GreenBits]

Try the classics, bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin. Can't go too wrong, all are pretty stable and trusted, and have very decent market capitalizations without all of the risk these more experimental, newer technologies bring.

Try MonetaryUNit(MUE)

It's quark you can do with your CPU or GPU and the diff still low. Also you can exchange through Bittrex.

I am new to bitcoin and my friend who uses bitcoins told me that it is better for new people to mine other coins what coins are best for new people and what coins are easiest to mine

Forget about easiest to mine and go for most profitable to mine. Then sell whatever your mining for bitcoin and hold your bitcoin.

I think right now you want to be mining Ethereum. But don't take my word for it since I haven't used GPUs to mine now for a while.

Since OP has only a laptop to mine with, the most profitable is to actually buy bitcoin.
Most coins he'd try to mine would eat up too much power to get any profit and he has a huge chance to burn his GPU.

So imho, some coins very easy to mine, for which OP could mine just a couple of hours now and then, only to see what's all about, would be the way to go.
I'd advise OP to also keep an eye on Espers. It may be easy to mine too, I didn't try, but from time to time they give out big amount of coins. They don't actually worth much, but you can play with sending / receiving, market and whatever you'd like to learn.

Just stick to bitcoin for now. You cannot learn anything just by asking questions in a forum like bitcointalk. The first thing you should learn is that most of the people here are shills or fudders. And most of the coins are only good for trading once or twice and then move on to the other new coin. If longterm investing is what you're looking for, you cannot find one here.
