The superconducting magnets, lasers, etc. mentioned are as used in tokamak (doughnut shaped) reactors that most labs use. This is a completely different design, that seems intended to be quicker/cheaper/easier to roll out if they can get it working; they've achieved some progress in that regard, but still not fusion even, just a significant step towards it. (Fusion has been achieved in tokamaks, just not for very long and not net energy producing.)
