Magnets damaging computers is mostly a myth, or more accurately modern computers aren’t negatively impacted by magnets the same way as older computers were.

Magnets could damage magnetic media like floppy disks and CRT monitors that are hardly used anymore.

They could also damage mechanical hard drives but those are shielded to a degree.
