Hey thanks for the quick response.

I want to buy BTC, take it off the exchange, and just sit on it.

I want to regularly add more to the wallet so an easy transfer method.

I currently use a desktop PC with an external HD and internal SSDs.

Should I buy a laptop on it's own, and download nothing but electrum on it to store the BTC?

Would using a VPN be sensible when accessing the internet from said device?

A hardware wallet is something like Nano or Trezor?

Thanks again - very new to the wallet side of things, so far just left the small amount of BTC on the exchange, which I know is stupid, but I only have nothing relatively.

Thanks
