No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.

It has only an HDMI output. No optical audio output, which I would have liked. There is an ethernet port but it has wifi capabilities.

No, it only has an HDMI output, a optical digital output for audio, 2 USB inputs (one front, one back) for thumb drives or wireless keyboards & mice, and an RF cable input jack. No other outputs (composite, s-video or component).

No, it does not have an optical drive (dvd-r-rw). However, you can purchase an external optical drive that connect to the USB port for about $40.
