Synthetic biology will introduce a different set of building parts (DNA, RNA, and protein), methods of energy consumption (ie: photosynthesis) and something computers can't do -- reproduction. It will be a good thing to have alternatives that rely on completely different resources as technically everything is a limited resource. That said, current synthetic biology does not strive to become an alternative to computers, but instead compete or work together with nanorobots. Perhaps something computer-like will happen once we have synthetic cells figured out and also create large artificial systems with them -- but that's a distant future, if ever, its ethics will be heavily debated.
