What this video covers

Magne Klann converts the chart table of his X362 into a mobile office by relying on USB-C charging and 5G cellular data.Watch The setup centers on a modern Mac with a low-power processor, which draws 28 watts during charging and requires only one or two full charges per week. To support this, he installed Scan Strut USB-C and standard USB outlets at the chart table, in the cockpit, and in the aft cabin. These outlets replace older cigarette-lighter adapters and provide power for cameras, iPads, and a JBL Bluetooth speaker. While he maintains a Victron inverter as a backup, he rarely uses it, as the USB-based system eliminates the need for 220-volt shore power for most electronics. He streams media and manages professional tasks using a 5G connection from his smartphone, noting that signal strength remains high along the Swedish coast.0:01 He prefers using a smartphone or an iPad mini for navigation over a larger iPad due to their portability and ease of storage.
