No it doesn't and I really wish it did as I use this for almost all of my computer needs.  However it does have ample ports for external thumb drives.

Question 2

What extra equipment do I need to have for the Lenova ideapad s405 in order to  connect to a powerpoint machine?

Descent laptop for the price. 
You will need to order an external optical drive, MS office and I recommend an external hard drive for backups.

Accepted Answer

I did buy that laptop, but unfortunately it developed a major defect within the first hour I had it and I had to return the laptop.  I thought it was a good deal in terms of price.  I'm sorry I do not know about the screen, but if you go to the Lenovo web site with that product number I'll bet you can find out.
Good luck.
