• When I use VirtualBox to run Windows I usually experience lag/slow graphic animations. Will the program to access LattePanda Alpha work without any lag (so just like a native Windows experience as with a HDMI cable)?

Umm, I guess the VirtualBox may works well on Alpha, but not exactly, we will test it and update here.

No, it just for display sharing.

• How hot does it become while small playing games with only the passive heatsink?

We are still evaluating for this part .

• How long can it last on e.g. a 20000mah powerbank on average use?

Not exactly, we are using the 12V/2A type-C power supply!

• What type of battery or powerbank should I use so that Windows can calculate the battery percentage?

Sounds like a good idea, we will try to check it out!

Thanks in advance.
