Yes.
TabletPC has been doing that for years.
Also on the Pro: full stylus support for handwriting recognition that works, voice recogntion, ink as a data-type that apps understand, and a really good customizable on-screen keyboard that floats above the document or docks in place as you choose.
Here's an overview of some of the Tablet features Windows has accumulated over the last decade plus:

As for note-taking, the combination of OneNote and Outlook is indeed killer.
The audio recording journaling feature to record and annotate classroom sessions by itself is worth the price of admission. For Science and Engineering Students, running MathCad in parallel is practically cheating.
Edit: On storage, USB host support means thumb drives and external hard drives. And MicroHD support mean plenty of options there, too.
