Max. fan airflow
The maximum airflow that a cooling fan can create; measured in CFM — cubic feet per minute.
The higher the CFM number, the more efficient the fan.
USB interface
The USB port interface allows you to understand what speed the connectors have when connecting drives to them. So USB 2.0 is considered the most traditional option — an already outdated format, which nevertheless easily handles with connecting a mouse, adapters (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) and other peripherals. Its transmission speed is up to 480 Mbps, which is not enough in today's realities. The more advanced
USB 3.2 gen1 has a similar connector format with improved bandwidth — up to 4.8 Gbps.
Folded size
Dimensions of the stand when folded. First of all, the convenience of transportation depends on this: if you plan to carry the product along with a laptop, you should pay attention to ensuring that the bag (case, backpack ...) has the right amount of space.
Note that the height of many models in the folded state is rather small, so manufacturers may not indicate it in the characteristics, limited only by the length and width.
Table top/platform size
The size of the surface intended for the direct placement of a laptop. This parameter allows you to fairly accurately assess how the stand is suitable for your device — after all, even laptops with the same diagonal can vary slightly in length / width.
