Thoughts on work-owned laptop/phone vs personal? Starting a new job at Spotify and they will give me the new MacBook Pro M1 MAX to use, but they also allow personal laptops. I just got the brand new MacBook Air M2 and thinking about just using that. Same story with iPhone. Thoughts?

Why would you abuse your own laptop for work? Not to mention there’s always some analytics in the background on work apps.

I recently started a role where they had me using my Mac before the company laptop showed up. I didn't mind - because Capital One made me use a windows machine, and I feel more comfortable on Mac. That said, I skipped downloading certain apps that acted as spyware, so I can't log into email on my phone, and miss out on other functionality. If Spotify makes you use tracking apps like these, then I'd recommend using a company computer. Congratulations on the opportunity!

I have the Pro M1 MAX and I absolutely love it. The 16inch screen is beautiful and I hardly use a monitor anymore, and it can handle anything I throw at it. For the quality of the laptop alone, asides from the other reasons offered, I'd recommend taking it
