    Looking to buy a lenovo ideapad z580. Anyone got any opinions on this laptop? I've looked into it quite a bit and everything seems pretty good but just thought I'd get a second opinion.

    not sure if it's of much use but i got a lenovo ideapad z570 last year, and i've not had a single issue or problem with it so far :)

    I've sold about half a dozen of the Z-series lenovos this year and I think they are rock solid. Nice colours too.

    Awesome, that's what I was hoping to hear. Pretty good deal for one in currys, probably gonna go for it.

    No I ended up going for a different one I was looking at.

    It might not be setup properly, are you running on windows 7 or windows 8?

    Windows 7, it was working fine until I wanted to use my earphones last night and it wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

    Go to control panel -> hardware and sound -> manage audio devices

    Plug in your headphones and see if they appear. If they do you have to set them to default.

    If they don't I think you might have to update a driver, which can be done in the device manager. Try the headphones with something else as well, tv/mp3 etc. just to make sure that they're not the problem
