on the positive side, it's a small thing monetarily, but retention of company laptops is a nice goodwill gesture

Eh, from the company's perspective this is logistically easiest--the laptop's value is hardly worth the effort.

When I left microsoft, I kept everything EXCEPT data bearing devices. I got the sense they REALLY didn't want to have to collect the laptops either, but the VPs were forced to by compliance.
