it should be safe. mostly all the sony internals are solid state. hold the magnets up to an sd card. if any of the files are corrupted the it's not safe. corrupted files mean that is was strong enough to move some of the relays in the silicon. try again while transferring files to the card. if any are corrupted it means that the magnet is holding the relays in place and also unsafe. if it can't affect an sd card it sure as hell can't affect a cpu. the only thing affected by magnets are relays(like those used in silicon chips) and mechanical devices (like the arm on a hard drive.) most of the time this will just cuose a crash unless you affect the bios rom. mosty bios roms' are somewhat magnetically shielded and way better then sd cards
