I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sort of computer' is the definition.
'notebook' can be an answer for 'computer' (type of portable computer). I am not sure about the 'sort of' bit.

'to be replaced in corner' is the wordplay.
'replaced' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'corner' becomes 'nook' (synonyms).
'to'+'be'='tobe'
'tobe' is an anagram of 'tebo'.
'tebo' put inside 'nook' is 'NOTEBOOK'.
