Benefit of BYOD is that it greatly limits the amount of snooping an employer can engage in. Plus, you never have to fight with your company's desktop support staff over "why can't I have admin on my system" or "why won't you whitelist this application", etc. Lastly, personal hardware refresh cycles are often much quicker than "accountant approved" refresh cycles ...and when you do buy, you can get exactly the type of system you want and customize it to your hearts content.
Our company doesn't provide us any computers so we bring our own :(
