You're going to have to phrase that a different way, it doesn't make any sense. Or provide the phrase in your native language.

My Chinese isn't super, is your meaning that one computer is enough to do something?
- Simplified Chinese (China)
I mean that one computer is enough for one person but if there are two persons we need another one.
- English (US)
Ah I understand. If you want to use the phrase "get by with" you generally put it near the front of the sentence because the phrase applies to the people who are getting by, not the thing they are getting by with. So you would say "One person can get by with just the one computer, but if there are more people we will need additional computers." Or something like that :)
