According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

You can look at the Dell Inspiron 5567. The Dell Inspiron 5567 is topped by the Inspiron 15 series notebooks, with outstanding performance, this laptop is lightweight and can be carried in the pocket easily.

If you talking about mining, i wouldn't recommend you going for laptop. It's good for managing your crypto assets in any place with internet connection, but not for mining. Even if it's top gaming setup, almost all laptops has heat issues and it's gonna break your laptop eventually. And for trading and stuff you might check for thelaptopguru and get yourself a lap top. I've got an Asus and it works just fine with all wallets apps.

I understand that you want to buy a laptop, not a full-fledged PC. But I strongly recommend to use a PC, because this way you save a lot of money when you buy it. In addition, the PC is easier to repair or upgrade. But if you still want a laptop (for business trips or whatever, to always have a laptop with you), then I advise you to take not the cheapest, but not the most expensive. Your option is the middle segment. A laptop with average characteristics is quite enough for all tasks related to crypto. I use a rather average old laptop and I've never had any problems with this. And yet, there is no difference which model or company of the laptop you buy, they are all about the same. I hope it helps you to choose the best optin for you!

Can anyone recommend a  good laptop for crypto? In general i want to use it for: using exchanges, holding crypto (wallets), and running masternodes. I thinking of buying XPS 13 9360.

Please help, i need a dedicated laptop.

If you want a PC dedicated to cryptocurrencies you should think of buying a desktop instead of a laptop.
You will need strong GPU and CPU power and you can find it with desktops in cheaper prices than laptops.

Hmmm, hard question. I think a gaming notebook would be good for crypo if you are going to mine. But mining is not a good way to earn money nowadays.
Actually mining will lessen the life span of your laptop whether you'll mine through CPU or GPU. It's not just for mining so it's not a good choice if your plan is to mine.

Making wallets with the latest specs would definitely be enough like 9th gen for Intel and the latest for AMD. But I'll be picky with the brand if the purpose would be just for crypto wallets, 1TB of HDD would be enough but if I have other things to do like gaming or rendering, higher specs for RAM and GPU is a must.

The question should have been: "Best Laptop for Linux?". You are not going to ever do anything serious (or safe) using windows or osx.

It will also trigger many excellent answers if you search exactly that, some even sell those pre-installed, but you can always install your own distro, such as Tails.

I think it’s beter to ask him first on what’s the main purpose of wanting a laptop just only for crypto,but since it was mentioned above?I am sure he doesn’t need higher GPU because the unit will only use for trading and a lower brand is enough to keep him active,but that’s better to use Personal Computer than Lappy because of higher capacity and longer life compared to laptop that mostly has a battery problems

At this point i would recommend something like the Pinebook Pro. This is an ARM laptop meant to run Linux or *BSD.

Normally the weirder the architecture is, the chances of being good increase, they tend to have hardware that works with Free and Open Source software. Since there is no windows for it, kind of forces the company selling it to cherry pick decent components.

It also takes deters temptation to pollute it with unsafe operating systems.

Agreed, I think every laptop will work here. Just use the OS you're familiar with.

Not really, its just Debian with Tor pre-configured. I think installing that is easier than a normal Debian install. But the main use of Tails is to use it without installing it at all, directly booting it from an optical media or usb thumb drive.

And no, you should just not use "any" OS, avoid insecure OSes like the plague and stop contributing to malware paradise. If you are not familiar with Linux or *BSD, its time you start familiarizing with them before doing serious things like handling money, ESPECIALLY when you are your own bank. Show some responsible attitude.

Not any laptop is good for this task, if we have a laptop with a 128Gb ssd, that will not enough to run a full bitcoin node. It is important to have an SSD for most of the coins nowadays, any coin node runs faster with this piece of hardware. So, the best thing to do with a laptop (if we want to use it with cryptos) is to but at least 1TB in ssd.

If you want to use that laptop for mining, then you can chase a laptop with a nice graphics card. like a 1060 nvidia or something better.

Yes its super easy, its just dd image device. In windows there are a bunch of tools that do the same, such as rufus or windd.

Then you reboot the computer and tell it to boot from that, you probably need to reboot into bios/uefi and tell it to boot from the usb. Fast/secure boot probably needs to be disabled.

As for running nodes, just run them trimmed if your storage is low. You still need to wait the 250g download for Bitcoin alone. Once in sync bandwidth use shouldn't be much, but beware of the initial download (don't do it on metered connections).

Yeah i exploit Dell's laptop on my very own it's great and that i feel very comfortable working How you run a laptop will depend upon you One can easily hide past files by itself and is extremely useful for running crypto wallets and master nodes there's no fear of the laptop hanging. you'll easily protect your passwords and there are many compatible backup subfiles.

Thank you for the answer! But why can't I use the initial load on the measurement connections?
