If it draws like 9watts in handheld mode, and going from 20nm planear to 16nm FinFETs..... you might see a reduction to like half.
If they can get it down to 4-5watts in handheld mode, that should be possible to cool passively, without it being reckless.
*edit:
The only issue is if these are also able to dock.... passive cooling + docked modes higher power consumption = issue with heat.
But if these mini's cant dock, then its not a issue, or maybe they need a special dock to help with cooling or such.
There could be work arounds.
