I have more personally owned computers than is reasonable, but I can understand people who get issued a company laptop and use it for everything.

It’s a couple hundred bucks a year to keep a personal laptop and if you’re mostly accessing cloud services, I can easily understand the temptation to use a company laptop for it all.

Also, when you travel or even commute using public transport, you don't always want to carry two laptops around.

		I fly around the world for work. I have two laptops, plus a triple screen setup. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GTQZWG77/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb... 1. You leave the company laptop at work(in my case, at site). 2. Get a lightweight laptop for yourself. 3. Get a proper travel laptop bag. I have this one from Brics https://www.bricsmilano.com/en-gb/products/underseat-backpac...

I never worked on a job that company policy allowed for personal use.

Naturally there are enough to try to flex the rules, while hoping not to get caught.

Lots of workplaces allow reasonable personal use.

		The problem from IT security point of view is what is "reasonable" and how it impacts internal systems if the laptop gets used as attack vector.
