Air gap computer?
So any computer without an internet connection. Also because you won't use anything besides being a wallet, you can choose a cheap one.

The hardware wallet that I know of is only Trezor, that's what I've used. If you use it for more security, I suggest hiding the password more safely (outside of the computer), at least that will be a basic anticipation for wallet security. What computer are you currently using?
Try to use paper wallet on storing your coins and store it on a safe box, I am so sure that no one would touch your fund except only you. On that case even if you have internet on your network or even you device, if it is on the paper wallet, your funds are untouchable.
You are basically looking for a hardware wallet.
A hardware wallet is an Air Gapped device that you connect to your computer. Trezor and Ledger are the most tested and supported by the community.
If you do not want to use a hardware wallet, you can get any older computer or notebook to use it as an air gpped computer. For that, you need to disable the network connect in BIOS, so you cannot accidentally get online. Your computer may never see the internet again. Format it before using. Any computer will do it.

Some I'm looking for a new device to store my warm crypto wallets. Something between a hardware wallet and a laptop. I want this device to not remotely connect to any other or the internet(air gapped). I want to use various UXwallet clients to store crypto short term and make transactions via one way USB drive transfers. I wish to do this to step up my security. While my long hodls are in paper wallets, some of my day trading funds and short hodls are stored in wallet on regular computer. I would like to dedicate a device to strictly crypto. It does not have to large or fancy, just air gapped and capable of running the wallets and transactions when needed. Can anyone recommend such a device?
