Personal laptop vs Company one’s

Hi everyone, I’m curious—do you use your personal laptop or your company-issued one for personal tasks? I’m considering buying a new 15” MacBook Air (around 70k INR with an exchange bonus), but I’m wondering if it’s worth it since I can do almost everything on the company laptop(MacBook pro m1). Is it really necessary to spend that amount? What do you all think? Do you prefer using your company laptop or your personal one for personal tasks? Recently, our company has been preparing for an IPO, so they’ve started tracking activity and blocking some sites. I’m unsure if it’s still wise to use the company laptop for personal stuff. P.S. If you do use a personal laptop for certain tasks, why not use the company one for those instead?

We know that every key stroke on our laptop can be tracked by the office IT team. How safe do you think it is to use banking sites on our laptops?

Want a laptop for personal use and entertainment. Personal use would mostly involve working with documents and presentations, maybe some reading and a little but of entertainment. Already have an iPad, but every once in a while I feel like I would need a laptop. The laptop provided by the company is strictly monitored (we work with US medical data, so have to follow very strict conpliances)
