My two cents:
Not knowing anything about computers, I have no idea to advise you whether to buy it or not. (idea)
That's the only answer I can think of, but I personally find it a bit awkward with "no idea to advise you..."
Best wishes

I suppose whoever wrote the exercise might be looking for a sentence like this:
Not having any idea about computers, I cannot advise you whether to buy it or not.
(Since the original sentence refers to 'a good buy', perhaps the author of the exercise would be happier with 'computer prices' instead of 'computers'.)
