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.

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?

Hmm after sometime you lose track and end up using your company laptop for things you should not . So I always try to keep things separate . I have seen a case where trip photos and pirated movies got uploaded to company’s backup solution. No major action was taken but it was an embarrassment for the person involved.

Always use your personal laptop for personal stuff as you do not know what is getting tracked
