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

How cheap can a laptop be that you can't consider using the money to get a hardware wallet like ledger? To me I believe you can easily do something stupid on that laptop while trying to do all the important things on it.

If you are trying to avoid connecting your wallet to a laptop there are devices that can do the job well, they come like small or big smartphones, newer open source wallets now have bigger screens where you can operate and send out your coins without connecting to any other devices.

The laptop is still unsafe compared to buying a hardware wallet with screen, like OneKey, newest Ledger, Keystone 3 and so on. A used laptop costs roughly $100 or even more and a hardware wallet costs roughly the same.
