Stocks in general can be pretty volatile (meaning they go up and down dramatically in price) at times, and computer stocks even more so.
It is very hard to tell who will "win" with given computer technology, or even whether the computer market itself will be up or down at any given time.
The advise I usually give with stocks is to invest in companies that you know well. That way you at least understand some of the risks that may be associated with a given stock.

I don't think there is a best stock to buy since no one knows what the market will do, but I do know if I could afford it, I would have Apple in my portfolio.
They have a small market share for computers, so they have area to grow. They are innovative and reliable. Lowest out of the box failure rate for any computer.
You can now run windows on the newest models, even their bottom like laptops include webcams and awesome software.
Their operating system is stable, which can not now or ever be said about windows.
Last year, they received Desktop, Laptop and Server of the Year awards.
They service is awesome, best I have received for any computer.
The iPod leads the market for MP3 players.
Need I say more.
No, I don't work for Apple. But I do own an iBook G4 and an iPod

Apple stock is currently good because of their earnings that came out recently, but it was down last week. You should wait to see if the stock falls to $55/share and hoping it will go back up.
