I thought it was super cool that I could hang my metal ruler on the side, or hanging down from the top of the screen and adjust Photoshop’s zoom ratio to actual measurements. Also when doing architectural/landscape projects it’s good to match feet in the picture to inches or centimeters.

I use them to hold my headphone earbuds, when I’m not listening to anything.

The magnets aren’t there to hold stuff. They are the securing points for the front glass. The fact you can use them for anything else is a perk.

I’ve to iMac and while I was doing my desk clearing I found that keyring which I could hand on the side of the iMac as it looks like there must be some kind of magnet inside the iMac. However, not too sure if I should be using it for hanging keyring. What do you guys think?

All iMacs that come with remotes have magnets. That’s where the remote should live.

I didn’t even know there were (i count 8?) magnets on the iMac… pretty spiffy…
