Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for use of magnets to retain and eject computing device expansion modules are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes a computing device that defines a slot for receipt of an expansion module for operable positioning of the expansion module with respect to the computing device. The expansion module comprises a first magnet attached thereto. Further, the system includes an electromagnet attached to the slot of the computing device. The system also includes a controller configured to apply an electrical output to the electromagnet such that the electromagnet generates a magnetic field for repelling the first magnet such the expansion module is urged in a direction for ejection from the slot.
