No the Mac stays awake on power. The USB-C cable charges the Mac and sends 4K video plus sound to the monitor. Its a really neat solution.
The space grey Apple keyboard and mouse just works when I am using the monitor. My Apple Watch unlocks the Mac so no need to put a password in.
Love this way of working as I alway have everything with me, desktop power when I want it and a laptop.
So without the Apple Watch how would you unlock it? Password on the keyboard ?
