  I remember when the first company I worked for did their first round of layoffs, the severance was something like two months. It was good enough that people were asking the CEO "why didn't you ask for volunteers?" The later rounds were not as generous. Nobody got to keep their laptops or desktops, but few months later the company was liquidating its assets, and some of the former employees got to buy some slightly dated hardware for cheap. If I recall correctly, that was also the only month we were profitable.

    At one place I worked I really needed a piece of hardware. I found the best hardware for the price and sent it to my manager. A couple weeks later it was delivered to THEIR desk. So I bought it myself and went to the CEO and asked if he'd cover it, he did. Then when they went under the next year everything went to auction. So I went and bought it again.

    I've found laptops always go back, but monitors they tend to not care about. I've been on contracts where they only want the laptop back, after sending you a complete setup with monitor, keyboard, etc.
