Computer discovered in Spooner’s secluded spot on ship (8)
I believe the answer is:
notebook
'computer' is the definition.
(type of portable computer)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notebook that I've seen before include "Jotter - portable computer" , "What's associated with reporter" , "Jotter's accessory?" , "little computer" , "Bigger than diary, smaller than laptop" .)
