- Take a strong magnet, like a neodymium magnet.
- Hold it in your hand.
- Move your hand across a Macbook 15"'s keyboard. Say from left to right or vice versa. Almost touching they keys.

You'll see the screen dimming. If you just hold it there for a little longer, it'll lock your macbook. It's funny, but I am not sure if it's doing some damage to hardware.

    @tinybyte i don't think the mac has magnetic storage. The one that i use!?

    Why oh why would you do that? And why post it here for other people to feel like Newton and possibly ruin their computer?

    I'm far from an hardware expert but that is definitely not a good thing to do to your computer.

    @simeg if the computer has no HDD but an SSD instead it is harmless. Magnets are harmless to mobile phones too

    I wouldn't say this is harmless, the current induced could kill your capacitors if it moved in the wrong direction..

    @oscarascal then be my guest and go nuts with magnets on your computer, and please report when something goes bad 👍🏻

    @simeg your hard drive will face no damage, however like I said you could end up frying the logic board or inducing dangerous transients in the processor

    @oscarascal it is a flash storage..so potentially nothing can happen with my neodymium magnets.
