No a computer is not a magnet. Most of the materials computers are made from (e.g. epoxy fiberglass circuit boards, copper, aluminum, various plastics, silicon, gold) cannot be magnetised. While certain structural parts of a computer are often made from steel, which can be magnetized they are not intentionally magnets.
Old computers (from the early 1950s to the early 1970s) used magnetic ferrite core memory as their main RAM and sometimes also as CPU register memory, but this has been replaced with solid state DRAM.
Computers have long used magnetic tape for offline data storage.
Since the late 1950s when IBM introduced the 350 RAMAC magnetic hard disk it has been common for computers to store data as tiny magnetic dots on spinning aluminum disks. Since 1970 when IBM introduced the floppy disk it has been common for computers to store data as tiny magnetic dots on spinning plastic disks inside a protective sleeve. However both of these are now being replaced by "solid state disks" based on Flash storage (a type of EEPROM - electronically erasable programmable read only memory).
So, even though computers have used some parts that operate using magnetism those parts are being phased out. But the computer itself is not and never was a magnet.
What else can I help you with?
What to do if a magnet touches your computer?
Get the magnet away as quickly as possible and check to make sure none of your files were erased. But if you have a MAC it might not affect your computer.
How is a computer a magnet and how do you use it?
Computer is not magnet.You cannot you it like a magnet. You may have read it from some non real source.See the only place where magnet is is the hard drive or hard disk.and you can only take it out when you break your hard disk.
Can a magnet ruin a computer power supply?
No but it can ruin other parts of the computer like the harddrive.
Can you place a magnet on the back of the computer?
You can, but it is not advisable, so don't do it.
Can a refrigerator magnet mess up your computer?
pretty sure it does
How do you demagnetnazic a computer?
If you accidently took a magnet to your computer and fried the hard drive, there's nothing you can do sorry
Is a magnet earaseing a computer disk a chemical or physical change?
The answer is physical:)
Can a magnet erase memory from a vending machine?
i dont think so because a vending machine isn't as sensetive to a magnet as a computer would be.
Can computer be fix after someone puts magnet on top of it lap top?
I don't know why a magnet would harm a laptop computer, some repair techs even us magnetic screwdrivers when working on laptops. I guess if you were to place a strong magnet next to the hard drive it might harm it.
Can a computer crash if it passes by a large magnet?
Yes, of course. You will kill your PC if you do that.
How does a magnet affect the inner workings of a computer?
It messes it up so don't do it
How do you set your computer to have a WEP code and WPA?
You put a magnet on the hard drive.
