Be careful with this. My MacBook Air will charge off anything, including a 5V battery bank. My Dell won’t charge off anything less than 18V over USB-C.
Got caught in a bind once when I brought my “slow” charger thinking that would be fine for light use on a trip away. It was not.
They can however look at your DNS queries, and even if you use encrypted DNS they can still inspect the certificates of sites you are going to to figure out what the domain is.
In the past it was possible to quickly swap the physical sata hard disk on some laptops to segregate work/personal use, but that's no longer viable with modern laptops.
On the plus side carrying 2 modern laptops weighs the same as one oldshool laptop and they use the same usb-c charger...
