According to the majority, hardware wallets are the safest place to keep your assets, as well as air-gapped wallets. Since you are exchanging data in the computer even if you didn't use internet connection there's still a risk.
Hardware wallets are not as safe as the manufacturers would like for use to think and one of the issues is that I think manufacturers of these devices have a hand in  over complicating this issue. I have to repeat this that all we want is a device that stores our keys cryptographically and that no 3rd party apps or the manufacturer themselves can have access to our keys. If the manufacturer goes beyond these basic specs then, in my opinion they are not providing the secure service we demand.
