No. The only parts that deal with magnetism are some kinds of storage, such as floppy disks, traditional hard drives, and tape libraries. However, some desktops and laptops are now shipping with SSD storage and are completely unaffected by most magnetism. Extremely strong magnetic fields are capable of interfering with any electrical system, however.

∙ 15y agoYes, computer hard drives (and tapes) store information magnetically and in the past 'core memory' in computers uses a magnetic rings to store information. Also computer screens (the old tube type) used magnets to drive/deflect the election beam. Yes. That's why you should never put magnets next to computers, otherwise your computer will a: explode, or b: the computer will lose its info.

∙ 14y agoYes. All non-solid-state hard drives contain magnets for both the DC motor and the heads that read and write to the spinning platters. The heads specifically are electromagnets whose flux changes depending on the changing current flowing through them. Floppy drives are very similar to traditional (non-solid-state) hard drives in that sense. Optical drives (CD drives, etc.) are similar except that they do not contain heads and therefore, the only magnets that exist are in the motor that spins the disc.

∙ 11y agoYes, all computers use electrical magnets somehow.
Example: There is a little cooling fan in most computers.

What are some names of small magnets?
Refrigerator magnets, car magnets, neodymium magnets are names of small magnets.
How magnets are used in recording?
Magnets are or rather were used to record audio or video on cassettes media earlier (which had/have magnetic tape in them on which data was recorded using magnet), which have now (still used) but taken over by optical media (CDs, DVDs, Blurays). Hard Disks/Drives in computer also use magnets to record on them.
Which are the cheapest magnets?

What type of magnets are the strongest?
Neodymium Magnets
What technology does computer speakers use?
Magnets.
What are discovered magnets?
they are the cwatam physics inside a eclectron
What is inside magnets?
There is nothing inside magnets. The solid metal has magnetic properties due to it's molecular make up. Magnets are commonly made of iron, but there are more powerful magnets, made from alloys of rare earth metals. The magnetic fiels surround the whole magnetic object.
How are speakers like a computer?
They both have magnets somewhere in them.
What items have magnets in them?
a computer and speakers. Some motors.
Why do computers have magnets in them?
There re only magnets in hard drives but they're sealed and will not affect the computer in any way
Magnets spinning inside a hydroelectric dam generate what?

How are plastic magnets made?
they put the magnet inside the plastic
Does a computer have electromagnets in it?
No, but there are strong magnets inside the Hard Drive, but they are not electromangets.Video - HDD Magnets:http://www.metacafe.com/watch/375515/strong_magnet_in_your_hard_disk/
What are three hazards to computer hardware?
water, magnets, and pets
Does a TV have a magnet?
Televisions with cathode ray tubes have several strong magnets in them. The magnets are used to aim the electrons that excite the phosphorus on the inside of the CRT. Flat screen TVs do not have magnets in them.
When do you use magnets you in everyday life?
inside fridge door, inside your toaster, and all the motors in the house
