PC liberal gets suitable work (6)
I believe the answer is:
laptop
'pc' is the definition.
(laptop is a kind of pc)
'liberal gets suitable work' is the wordplay.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'suitable' becomes 'apt' (I've seen this before).
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'l'+'apt'+'op'='LAPTOP'
(Other definitions for laptop that I've seen before include "Small computer" , "device?" , "Aid for businessman" , "Kind of computer" , "Portable computer" .)
