Circuit to power computer (6)
I believe the answer is:
laptop
'computer' is the definition.
(laptop is a kind of computer)
'circuit to power' is the wordplay.
'circuit' becomes 'lap' (synonyms).
'power' becomes 'p'.
'lap'+'to'+'p'='LAPTOP'
(Other definitions for laptop that I've seen before include "PC" , "Portable computer" , "Aid for businessman" , "Type of computer" , "Some work on this" .)
