Probably something similar this although this one also includes a
fingerprint reader which you didn't call for.

There are any number of RF proximity readers that are used to control
security access through locked doors and the like and most of those
might be adaptable to what you ask for. Unfortunately most commercial
systems are designed intentionally to have a relatively short range --
up to about 1/2 meter seems to be the limit of most I've seen. Try
googling for "rf proximity security card"

This one is probably up to the job since it is made to operate from
inside a vehicle:

I'd name it "Magnetic card reader".
Or "swipe card switch"
Or "Access card terminal"
Or "Secure Hyper Disco Fun".

These days that's old, boring technology... those were on
electric doors for decades. Today the RFID tag sensor based
designs seem more interesting... though to simple turn on or
off a PC, these are all quite easily hacked, they aren't
very secure at all unless you physically secure the hardware
itself, too.

Ok, but that's not a "magnetic card", it's an infrared
transmitter and base, and a rather expensive one at $90.

You can get something more versatile for only one PC, even
with more features supported in Windows. For example,

An appropriately named web site as the server refuses connection every time
I try to access it.
