I would be very surprised if the company didnt want control over the machine, even from a securoty point of view, the idea of using your own hardward for your job is just a red flag.

Don't do it. Also, dont use anything related to work for anything other than work.. It's a tool for the job. Leave it at that.

It's also extremely common. How many people these days carry separate work and personal phones, for example? (Some do, of course, but I'm pretty sure they're the exceptions.) And, especially anyone who travels a lot probably uses one laptop a lot of the time too.

Is this "best practice"? Probably not. But it's convenient and it's usually not an issue. (Though I fully agree that, if you know something is a potentially borderline issue, it makes sense to wall personal and work off more completely.)
