Get an ant bait that contains a chemical called fipronil, leave the laptop and desktop sitting somewhere undisturbed for a couple days with the ant bait trays near openings they can freely move in and out of. The fipronil has a transfer effect so ants should walk back into the computers with the bait and poison the other ants. 

 

You could also use a powdered chemical such as COOPEX dust and use something to blow the dust inside the machines.

These products should be available at most hardware stores.

 

Also it may be best to avoid using the computers till you have dealt with the ants as they could short out the electronics.
