Notice mate mirroring devices (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laptops

'devices' is the definition.
(laptop is a kind of device)

'notice mate mirroring' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'spot' (spot can mean to notice or observe).
'mate' becomes 'pal' (I've seen this before).
'mirroring' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'mirrored' mean this).
'spot'+'pal'='spotpal'
'spotpal' written backwards gives 'LAPTOPS'.

(Other definitions for laptops that I've seen before include "PCs" , "more than one PC" , "Portable computers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
