Can confirm. I recently demoted my old Samsung S7 to be Wifi-only and work stuff-only. MFA, mobile email when I'm not at my desk, etc.
When I travel for personal stuff, I now just take my personal laptop and my phone. If I need to get into my work stuff, I'm pretty damn effective with all the cloud tooling I can get into from the browser under Dex. Screen real estate is the biggest issue which Dex handily solves, with a close second being things like MS Teams being a little clunky in Dex mode (not a dealbreaker). It's all more than sufficient when I get pinged on personal travel, since I'm not likely to need to be at 110% like I am if I'm working at 2pm on a Tuesday.
Why would I want to do this? Because every time I take time off, something goes off and nobody knows what to do about it, so I get pinged.
Personal laptop is much thinner and lighter, and I'm less concerned with losing it on travel compared to my work laptop. Also - accessing work resources requires a crap-ton of security policies applied to the device (full control including remote wipe, a stack of security & endpoint management software, just to be able to authenticate with my work account) which I don't want to install/grant on my personal laptop.
That's an interesting value system. Why is losing a work laptop more concerning than losing your personal laptop? losing either of them isn't great, but the company has far more resources than you to protect and replace the laptop than you do.
Yeah but it's yours. Replacing it is so much harder for you than it is for corporate IT which buys laptops by the pallet.
If you'd lost a work laptop ever than yeah I could see not wanting to lose another one, but the mere possibility of losing one isn't anywhere near being "the person who is always losing their work laptop".
Losing my personal laptop would be a big deal for me. Losing my work laptop, while still not ideal, is just what IT calls Tuesday.
