Ours wouldn't brick the laptops, but we do have software on them that let's us remote wipe them. They will do that if they dont get the device back in a timely manner.

    Just in case it comes up later, since I assist in purchasing for the company I work for, what software is it?

    There's all kinds of options like Microsoft Intune to corporate antivirus + data protection solutions

    If my company wipes my Mac through such a system, but I have it hooked to my own personal Apple cloud account, can I go buy a new Mac and restore it?

    If your Apple account is separate and the uploaded backups are untouched by the company solution, then yes (in other words, if file deletion doesn't sync into your iCloud backup)

    Note that the company might use the management tool to block you from connecting personal accounts!

    As the other commenter said there are a lot of options. I used to be in charge of imaging and we just used SCCM to deploy. I had to pass on these roles as my responsibilities changed and the team that was getting it deemed it to complicated... go figure. They complained enough and found smart deploy and they accomplished getting it because of its ability to wipe pcs.
