This is a 70mm achromatic refractor belonging to Meade ETX line. It is mounted on a dual fork mount and includes computer controls in the form of the #494 autostar.
It is probably the least expensive "goto" telescope on the market, but it is quite noisy, so if you are planning to use it during the night meanwhile your wife is asleep, you better start thinking about divorce ;-)
