Well all the more reason to use a dedicated key management hardware - they are safe to use even if your laptop is compromised.

To keep your devices clean:

1. Don't use Windows
2. Don't install software, including browser extensions, unless you REALLY need it
3. Don't visit shady parts of the internet

what's the best way to secure your devices in your opinion? for instance, if a user is new to a hardware device like Trezor or even a software wallet for that matter like Electrum  how can one be abolutely sure that the laptop is not already compromised before doing the installation process?
