[@hannahkurylo4870]

I haven’t even gotten this computer yet I’m hoping to get one for Christmas and I’m already in love with the green one. It looks easy with the amount of cords that come with it. I have a few questions if you don’t mind answering them. How is the set up process easy?. How do you like it?. What’s the track pad for never really figured that out!? Are some things hard to use like some websites? Would you recommend it? Thanks 😊

[@sophiedodsworth]

It would make a great Christmas present! Set-up process is super easy, Apple make it really simple to follow. The trackpad is an alternative to the mouse (or you can get both!) Nothing is difficult to use on it, it's honestly pretty simple and a joy to use. I love it. Hope that helps!

[@huntermerck]

its so beautiful I could cry lol, I am torn between wanting green, blue or purple!! they all look so stunning!!

[@eper01]

I like the orange color. For me it looks the best and I have no thoughts that I made a mistake chosen this color. On iMac 🖥 it also looks cute with the green color, so you made a cute choice! I love your videos and hope you will continue showing us more about your new iMac. Mines is coming up in 1-15 September 😩. Can’t wait to see the new iMac in person like you.

[@leslielacktman8819]

Green rocks Sophie!❤

[@farenkofi]

I ordered one as well and I’m very excited! I just wish the keyboard was backlit because i do a lot of late night work

[@sophiedodsworth]

Hi Kofi! I'm excited for you! I can see why a backlit keyboard would be useful for you. I tend to do my late night work (if I'm in bed and not at my desk) on the iPad Pro, purely because the magic keyboard has the light on the keys which makes it easy to see in the dark. I've used the iMac a few times in a really dark room and because I don't tend to look at the keyboard whilst I'm typing, it hasn't bothered me too much! I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with it when your order arrives 😌

@@sophiedodsworth Do you have a MacBook Pro? Could you possibly see if the keyboard with Touch ID works on that?

Typing on the new keyboard now to reply to you whilst on my MacBook Pro. On the new iMac there's a 'Touch ID' section in system preferences which allows you to enable touch ID to unlock your mac, to pay using apple pay, for password autofill etc. There isn't this option within system preferences on my MacBook Pro so I don't have the option to use touch ID in instances such as this. This might be something that changes with a software update but for right now, I can't find a way to utilise that.
