The user is good
the computer is new
a good new computer user = a (good (new computer) user)

if the computer is good and new?
a good new computer user = a (good new computer) user

Some combinations are ambiguous, so they have to be recast if the distinction is very important to your message.

As mentioned, wouldn't put everything together here. Just too confusing to interprete at the first scan/read.
