Overall, AMD's upcoming refresh cycle looks pretty enticing, for desktop and laptop users alike.

Does the author literally mean the 300 series will only be sold in laptops? What about mini-pcs?

No not just in Laptops, but expect these even in OEM mini-PCs as well. Later some handheld devices might also sport these AI chips, more specifically the Ryzen AI 9 365(a cut-down variant), but this is still up for a final decision by AMD based on some rumors.

Laptops is their first priority where their top tier partner OEMs will get first crack they might also target business AiOs with the first batch depending on interest & margins, then once the chip is available to all vendors as just another SKU (likely around the same time Strix Halo is announced) it'll end up wherever OEMs want that combo of power & efficiency including miniPCs, etc.

I'd love to see it in a small dedicated (and software supported) AV/game box similar to the aging Shield, something like a "Steam Deck Home Edition" (saving on LCD & dock) which could compete with current consoles at a lower price and smaller size & power footprints.

Problem is the segment of the market that is savvy enough to know the benefit, but not already using some PC (mini or not) attached to their TV, and not want more upgradability than a dedicated unit.
