What to look for in a sewing machine?

I decided I need a new hobby, and I thought I would really enjoy learning to make clothes. My grandma used to have tons of Simplicity patterns and she made me stuff all the time when I was a kid, and I always wanted to learn.

Anyway, I decided since my birthday is in two weeks, I was going to ask my dad for a sewing machine. Nothing fancy. But I haven’t used one since I was in 8th grade, and I have no idea what to look for.

I like this one. It’s cute, and it got great reviews. But again, I know nothing about them anymore.
