Table-top Newtonian?

I am asking on behalf of a friend of mine who are interested in buying a telescope after some years of viewing with binos.
However he lives in a light-polluted apartment and he only intends to observe from the balcony. Heavy lifting is out of the question.After some consideration I think the best first scope for him will be one of those table-top dobsonian ( say 4 inch).I thought I've seen it somewhere??
Anyone with experience with these? Any suggestion? His budget is around $300.
