"I have to say, I'm really impressed by the single-cable solution. The monitor charges the laptop"

Is this a new feature? I've never heard of monitors charging laptops before.

It's part of the benefits of Thunderbolt (and now, USB-C). The Apple Thunderbolt Display also charged Mac laptops via its built-in MagSafe cable.

The last revision of the Thunderbolt Cinema Display used two separate cables. USB-C is the first single-cable solution I'm aware of.
