Hello, i have read some articles that small magnets do not have impact to the electronics and it sounds reasonable.
So i have purchased custom pouch made for mbp16 with magnet lock mechanism. So far everything was ok until i recently placed mbp on the pouch. The magnets were basicaly in location directly under the fans and imediately a rattling buzzing sound started. I moved it away and it stopped. So i believe the magnets are affecting metal parts in the fans altering the rotation if running.
While its easy to not place the mbp anymore on the pouch, question is the storage in it as the magnets are in the locations of fans...the fan parts may get magnetised or whaever..who knows.. any comment? Thx
