Yes, computers and soft ware are qualified expenses for the education credits.
The rule is: if your computer is a necessary requirement for enrollment or attendance at an educational institution, the IRS deems it a qualifying expense. If you are using the computer simply out of convenience, it most likely does not qualify for a tax credit.
