This stroller is more compact and lightweight than other lightweight strollers that i was considering, particularly the city min (3lbs+ heavier)i. It also stands up on its own, which is a great feature for storage, travel, etc. Speaking of travel, you can get a backpack to carry it in, which is one of the coolest stroller features I've seen. It also comes equipped with accessories - rain protector, mosquito netting, etc. which are nice. The storage basket is a good size and there is also a small mesh pocket on the back of the stroller. While it doesn't come with a cup holder, there are inexpensive add-ons you can find from other brands to compensate for this. I found one for less than $10. One thing to note: the purple is much darker in real life than it is in pictures online.
