how far from a computer is safe for this magnet

I would be very careful with placement of magnetics near electronics, computers, tvs, etc...based on my past experience, I have blown out my tvs, and computers by such.I would recommend the safe distance would be under the table or stand that they sit on and keep the magnetic away from the cords also. Just bolt it under a chair, table, shelf, cabinet, etc. I have them in many places, under the tool saw tables, fastened onto metal doors for easy access when I need it. I think Americans are going to really, really, need to protect themselves from the USA's government. The Tyrant in the White House is coming for all.

I have mine about 4 feet to the right of my main PC. I have also used both of my laptops on my desk, and basically set them right on top of the magnets, with no problems. My magnet holds a Bersa 380 (Thunder) and a spare clip. It really works well.

Far. It wiped my credit cards in my pocket. I have one about 15 feet from my computer and have had no trouble for three months now.

Good question, I dont have an answer for that. I know magnets can ruin hard drives. I believe the magnet placement under a desk for the wpn would be goode because the wood desk would block the magnet effects.

Furthest I can't tell you but I can tell u it works fine at 7ft away the computer.

The magnet in the trainer doesn't seem to produce that large of a magnetic field for electronics to be damaged. I have mine about 3-5ft from my computer at any given time and I haven't seen any issues. I'm sure even 1ft would be plenty of space for the trainer near electronics.

I don't see why not. You'd just need to locate the sensor on the back and put the magnet on a spoke, adjust and ride til your heart's content. Perhaps the only issue would be distance of sensor from the actual computer. But I can't imagine the unit is that sensitive.

I have had no problems with the magnet affecting the hard drive in any way.I have bluetooth headphones and put the Nano with case in my pocket and go hiking with it located in the front of my pants....no issues.

The magnet is pretty strong, and would have no problem picking up the entire screen, but most screens are aluminum, so a magnet won't help there.

I highly doubt the magnet is strong enough to affect it. It shouldn't be a worry :)

I would say no, in reference to your question. There are magnetics used in the cable connection for the computer on top. But I am sure totally by what you are meaning.

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

You have a valid question and I cannot verify if this would cause any technical issues. If I were concerned about this as a potential issue, I would contact someone in the computer field that has had some experience with magnets. We have used these magnets for some time and have not experienced any computer problems. Sorry I could not be of more assistance to you. These are powerful magnets and helped us accomplish collecting staples from paperwork.

If it is made of ferrous metal, so the magnet will work, you should not have any issues.

I have not experienced an problems with the magnetic catch or case. In fact, If I am not mistaken, thet magnetic part of the catch is located on the bottom of the case - beneath and away from the keyboard. Thus, I could not see how the magnet would impact the screen area. WIth that said, the catch does require attention to properly secure the case. Othewwise, I have not experienced any problems thus far.

according to this, as long as the magnet is 1 inch away from the magnetic strip, it should be ok. I just opened my wallet and checked, if you place the card in the card slot so the magnetic strip is farther rather than close to the magnet, its about an inch away. I don't think that it will destroy the cards.http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/demagnetization-ruin-credit-card-magnetic-stripe-1273.php

I am not sure you should contact the maker of your device, but most times you dont want strong magnets in or around memory type devices.

I've had this on my phone for a few months with no issue, I generally try to be cautious around the laptop and things with spinning hard drives, as the magnet is pretty powerful (which is awesome) I also try to be careful with credit cards, but I've definitely stuck them in the same pocket a few times, and they all still work. The magnet can also easily be taken out to eliminate any possibility of damage.

sure hold up the laptop, but if you trying to moved away from you ,it's unstable and your computer may fall

There is, of course a distance limit, but wireless mice which use an RF signal like the Microsoft are not impeded by a desk or wall, but signal is weakened through such objects, that is, line of sight increases the range I can use mine up to 15 to 20 feet from the computer, and the receiving unit is plugged in, out of sight, into the rear of my computer.
