Acer is surely gearing up pretty well for the holiday season. Just before people start planning for their holiday shopping, Acer has launched two new desktop PCs which are glossy enough to lure the gadget lovers.

To start with Acer has launched the Acer AZ3100 all in one desktop which can be considered a step below the Z5700 and henceforth a bit cheaper too. The other launch is the Aspire Reveo 3700 which has been tagged as a nettop instead of a desktop.

"The AspireRevo AR3700 is an excellent pick for consumers desiring an affordable device for enjoying digital media that won't take up much space and will integrate well with the home entertainment center," said Steve Smith, senior business manager of consumer desktops for Acer America. "When you consider the flexibility in mounting options, quiet operation and performance for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find a more practical secondary computer for the home."

The Z3100 comes with a 2GHz AMD Athlon II processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics, 500 GB HDD, and 3 gigs of RAM. It will cost you only $599 which surely should be a steal at this configuration. The Aspire Revo 3700 has been tagged for $349 which again is an outstanding price for the reasonably configured device.

The price the store quoted for the device was Rs.15200 which might be the MRP and we expect it to be under Rs.14000 in other channels/

Michael had posted a nice preview of the C6 .� Just to make things clear this was the C6-00 and not the C6-01.

Board games and other games with single device local multiplayer have been a real hit around my house on the iPad. The large screen of the device really shines in any kind of local multiplayer scenario, and I've had a ton of fun playing everything from single-screen racing games like Danger Derby [$4.99] to excellent adaptations of board games like Small World [$6.99]. We were happy to see the original release of Catan for the iPhone last year, and ever since I realized how much fun board games are on the device, I've been looking for Catan on the iPad.

Unfortunately, there are two notable issues with this release. First off, Catan HD [$4.99] is yet another HD version of a game with no real noteworthy differences between the iPhone game aside from higher resolution art and a different UI. (Something several people on our forums are voicing their disappointment about.) Secondly, in the shadow of games like Small World for the iPad or Carcassonne [$4.99] for the iPhone, Catan HD feels lackluster in comparison.

The high resolution graphics don't look that great, and are made even worse by slowly animating between a few frames, giving the whole game a jerky appearance. Also, Carcassonne really set the standard for multiplayer options in a board game, and it's unfortunate to see that even the iPad version of the game launching without bluetooth or online multiplayer.

If you're looking to play Settlers of Catan without dealing with all the pieces of the physical game, Catan HD is a decent alternative, just don't expect anything more than the iPhone game running at a higher resolution.
