How do they work?
Literally no one knows.
Holy shit this picture is awesome
Man, I was working a desktop support job when they first started to use magnets in the laptops for the closed lid mechanism. I was trying to set up a laptop and I for the life of me couldn’t get the screen to turn on.
After like an hour of trying to figure it out and a call to Dell support, I shifted the laptop and the screen turned on. Stupid laptop was so thin the magnet from the laptop under it was causing it to think it was closed.
A couple of years ago I was having a problem with the screen on my laptop randomly turning off and I was afraid that it was broken. Turns out it was my magnetic watch strap tripping the "lid closed" sensor.
I just found out the other day that the New 3DS XLs screen open sensor can be tricked by a laptop lid magnet, I was confused AF for a sec on why it was making sounds while closed lol
Chromebooks regularly do this if you stack them
Are you sure it’s magnets? Have you ruled out magic?
Nah. More probable to be matrix.
Aren't magnets magic??
Only the magic ones.
Yeah, but what kind of magic?
By jove hes a wizard

Random erections are the worst
“Are you happy to see me or is that just a paperclip in your pants?”
Yes but I can understand the confusion
What does that have to do with the picture? There's probably a speaker underneath
The magnet helps signal that the display is closed, triggering sleep mode.
Nope, not that close to the edge, and especially not in this laptop cuz it must have them firing down. It's the hall effect sensor of the lid.
My favorite hobby
~~OP discovers magnetism.~~
Edit: nvm it says so in the post.
I mean, it's still a very unlikely way to land. Even if it hit very close to directly upright, you'd think it'd be much more likely that it'd fall flat against the surface of the laptop. But not as ~~unlikely~~completely impossible as if there wasn't a magnet right there.
True, don't take my comment too seriously, it was meant as a joke.
