I'm talking about ONLY plugging in the ethernet cable when going into the wallet
That is not an offline computer.

One option is to use Electrum. Put wallet on this offline Macbook (that is ALWAYS offline) and watch-only wallet on normal computer, then sign transactions with a transaction file through USB stick. See docs for better explanation: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html One could argue putting USB in offline Macbook is still a risk, but IMO a smaller risk than your solution for an "offline wallet".


edit: of course your solution is still more secure than average wallet out there.
