Same here. It also removes some hassle when changing jobs. All of your personal stuff is on the computer you own and all of the work stuff is on the the computer the company owns. Just turn in your work laptop and you're done with that place and on to the next.
I work in the IT department for my company so I know for a fact that there's no monitoring on the work laptops, which is super strange but whatever.
Still I wouldn't use the work laptop for anything other than work activities because despite the fact I 100% know there's no monitoring I still don't trust it. Besides, It's unprofessional, and although I don't really care about that all that much, it's good to get into the habit of not doing personal activities on a work laptop, because one day they might start monitoring, and this way I'm already in the habit of not doing anything personal.
