Hey guys,

I am considering to buy a really cheap laptop, its only usecase would be to connect my hardware wallet with it. I do not own a laptop yet but I also don‘t need one because I have an Ipad.
Should it be a new one or is refurbished enough?

Do you think this makes sense?

How do/would you do it?

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes
If you have $ 2000 on your wallet, then I see no reason to buy an additional laptop for $ 200.

If you have 100,000, then it already makes sense in additional safety to use a wallet on a separate laptop. I would probably buy a laptop, replaced a hard drive for SSD in a pendant and installed licensed software independently.
