Morphology
The meaning 'a person or company that buys and sells computers' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'computer' (an electronic device) with 'dealer' (a seller of goods); this is a regular noun-noun compound indicating the type of goods the dealer trades. The composition follows common English compounding patterns and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The compound computer dealer combines computer and dealer. Imagine a shop or person who buys and sells computers as their work. That's why it means 'a person or company that buys and sells computers as a business'.
