M1 MPB 14", 2 external monitors: I would pay quite a bit of money if Apple would make a dock that I could plug into and have my apps move back into the position they were in (including correct monitor) when I unplugged the cable. Bonus points if windows would automatically arrange themselves back when I unplug and work on laptop only, but this is probably a Mac OS thing more than a dock thing, right?
Currently it's just a crapshoot as to where my apps will be. Will they be on the right monitor? Will the monitors have magically juxtaposed? Will everything be only on the laptop screen? Who knows!? This is a productivity destroyer for me, multiple times per day.
Yes, I wait until both screens have powered on. And then some extra time... and it doesn't matter at all.
This is the monitors fault though right? Because the manufacturer flashes them with the exact same identifier, so the laptop has no way to tell them apart. There was a blog post about it here recently.

Isn't that handled by software? That Apple hasn't been able to provide for ages despite originally bosting to have the best monitor support, and now releasing "the best" external display with Studio Display?
