Magnets are not essential as part of the computing function itself, but many machines contain CD or similar drives, which are actuated by small motors. Which are magnetic in operation. And similarly for Hard drives, which use magnetic disks to store information. BUT --
But the imminent arrival of solid state drives, (Flash Memory of various sorts) may mean that there are no magnets in the computer. Excepting the loudspeaker which is likely to remain the magnetic type in the near future.
[And excepting the Transformers in the power supply.]

How a loudspeaker works?
A loud speaker (like other speakers) produce sound (which is actually vibrations in the air heard by the ear) with a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet in wire form that is wrapped around the permanent magnet. (or a magnet that can be turned on and off by electricity) the speaker translates the sound into a series of electrical currents and then produces the electricity to alter the temporary magnet and making the magnets vibrate and in turn vibrates the air.
