Nexus 7 for note taking?

[GillardC10]

I am wanting to get a tablet to use for school this year. I need it for reading textbooks, taking notes, and some web browsing. I am finding plenty of information with the nexus for reading and web, but I cannot find anything that tells me if it is good for taking notes. Does it have a feature where you can hand write on it or is it where you can only type? And am I able to open up power points to add notes in it?
