If your goal with the laptop is just to use the hardwallet, you can buy a refurbished one anyway and if you want an extra layer of security you can use Tails as your OS
But if you take care to format it, keep it up to date, and always check the addresses, you'll be safe, since the hardwallet won't let any application or virus extract your seed

In case you don't even want to use a laptop, there are still some hardwallets you could use without a PC or Laptop

...
- Not exposing your seeds to third parties, or devices.
- Checking the addresses and amount thoroughly to ensure that the amount that is being sent and the address is correct.
...

These are the best and most important tips for those who want to stay safe  Wink
