Computer and monitor not included.

This product includes a PowerPoint presentation file that requires a compatible program to view and edit. While we recommend using Microsoft PowerPoint for the best experience, it is not required, as PowerPoint (.pptx) files can also be opened in various programs such as Keynote and Google Slides. However, formatting and features may be affected depending on the program used, and some programs may have file size limitations that could impact compatibility. For the best functionality, we suggest using Microsoft PowerPoint or a free PowerPoint viewer.
