You know the image showing internal components of the supposed new MacBook Air, released a few days ago by Engadget? Well, according to sources AppleInsider it is real, but it is an old prototype of the new 11.6-inch model, identified by the code name K18.
According to the vehicle, the final version of the new Air has had some things modified especially the size / location of its batteries. The image above would not be the 13.3 ″ model, as it has more internal space and a slightly differentiated design.
Regardless of these details, Apple is almost certain to bring this Wednesday (10/20) a new, even more compact version of the MacBook Air. If many already thought the 13.3 ″ superfine and portable, the new 11.6 ″ Undeniably entering the netbook category the first in the history of Ma.

At the time, the speech was very nice and had everything to do with the arrival of the tablet. But now, Steve, what are the real benefits of an 11.6 ″ MacBook Air, an Apple netbook? Is it better than an iPhone and better than a MacBook for certain tasks, like an iPad?
We'll know on Wednesday, I imagine. But if the rumors about this new MacBook Air are correct, it will have a captive space in Apple's new line of notebooks: even more compact, light, cheap and fast. If your screen maintains the same resolution as the current 13.3 ″ (that is, 1280 × 800 pixels), show the ball.
