I buy my own laptop for work. Work will give me a good one, but I want a GREAT one. It’s the one tool I need to do my job, and I’ll be using it over 40 hours a week. It’s a few thousand dollars, but I make a comfortable six figure salary, and I think it’s worth it.

This is increasingly less feasible with fleet managed corporate devices.

  You can let your personal laptop be managed, but it’d kinda be a waste of money right?

    Quite often there's simply no profile for certain hardware/software configurations. And yes, good luck resuscitating it once it was bricked one Friday with a surprise lay-off.

Screw that. The employer wants me to dig trenches? They provide me with a shovel. The employer wants me to do computer work? They provide me with a computer. Quality of my work will be directly proportional to quality of the tool.
