If the company can't spend $2000 for a computer that they agree is the right tool for your job, what makes you think they'll be willing to compensate you for using your own computer to do that same job? I appreciate the amount of answers provided with different opinions. My apologies if my original question was not clear enough. We agree a Mac would be better, and they suggested me to use my MacBook, but I haven't said yes.

UPDATE 2: I want to clarify I haven't agreed to anything with my employer.

I'm asking this question because BYOD is quite a common practice nowadays in Software Development, and I think if you are bringing your personal computer, you should not do it for free. UPDATE: Please, note that I'm not asking for advice about if I should do this or not. This situation is in the UK, if that changes anything. It's important to note I'm excluding things like security, responsibilities boundaries, and other policy-related considerations from this question on purpose, since my question targets compensation specifically. There are several things to consider such as the risk of losing it, wear and tear, the burden of having to bring it everyday, etc. What kind of compensation should I request from them in order to bring my laptop everyday? Even though they will probably expect me to bring it "for free".

They can't buy a Mac for me now, but they suggested me to use my personal MacBook. However, for a specific project I'm working on, a Mac would be better suited, providing benefits for both my employer and me (and we both agree on this).

My employer provides me with a decent Windows desktop machine to perform my Software Development tasks.
