Re: is vaio affected by strong magnets?

Hi Wirbelstrom, 

Thank you for considering Sony Community! 

Loss of data is one of the possible effects of magnets to your computer, especially if the storage type is a hard disk drive (traditional mechanical hard drive). We recommend not exposing your Vaio nearest to magnetic objects. 

For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

Regards,

Vincent
