What is private about a company laptop? Your own laptop shouldn’t be backdoored, but I think it’s irrational to expect the a laptop owned by the company won’t be managed by that company.

I don't expect it. That's why if a company offered it to me I would be impressed. It would speak volumes that they:

A) Trust their employees

B) Respect my privacy

C) Aren't paternalistic
