Yes. The tablet ships with a pen, so you do not need to buy a stylus separately.

Can it replace a laptop?

For notes, reading and streaming, largely yes. For heavy desktop software, no: it runs Android apps, not full Windows programs.

About 21 oz, which is heavy for one-handed use. It works best propped on a stand or desk.

Does it have expandable storage?

It has 128 GB built in and a microSD slot for adding more, which helps with media libraries.

Is it good for taking notes in class?

Yes. The large screen and included pen suit handwritten notes and PDF annotation, though the size makes it a desk tablet.

How does it compare with an iPad?

It offers a bigger screen and a pen in the box, but iPad apps are better optimized and the iPad is lighter.

Our take on the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 13" 12GB Tablet with Pen

The Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 is Lenovo's 13-inch Android tablet aimed at people who want a big screen for notes, reading and streaming. It ships with a pen, a 13 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front camera, and weighs about 21 oz, so it is a stay-at-home tablet rather than a bag companion. Against rivals like the Galaxy Tab S series and iPad Air, it leans on screen size and the included stylus rather than on premium build or app polish. Owners rate it highly, praising the large display and pen for the money, while noting Android tablet apps and the size limit portability.
