Nice. You really have some dedicated computers.
I love how you have one laptop for each thing (critical account logins); which is actually quite smart.

I have a laptop which is connected to a dual-monitor setup. All I need.

I appreciate that! I might check them out next week and see if they are all still functional and with their chargers. It'd be good practice to attempt to fix them and I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two from you.

Thank you.

The lappy for critical account logins, performs just that. Logging In and out of accounts and absolutely nothing more- no other sites visited, no downloaded and no third-party links clicked. I have domains that need renewing, so I can't afford for my credentials to be compromised.

Another option I use a few times, Is booting via a Linux Live CD. This will prevent being keylogged and malicious content Installed.

I have like 5 laptops (not including my work laptop) and 1 desktop that isn't currently setup. I have another 2 or 3 bare bones desktop machines and my girlfriend has a laptop as well.
