Best notebook for minecraft and skype?

Tablets is not meant for gaming, buy a laptop or pc instead.

I would recommend the "Acer - Aspire 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 6GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Silver" Should run you about £323 and has the performance you would need to run both. If you use an Intel i5 processor it will be good enough to run both at the same time. I have an i3 and can run both at the same time with no problem at all. With you budget of £500 you can surely buy an i5 laptop with a usb to the side for extra storage if you need it. Laptops with an i3 will work fine enough for your use but with the amount you can spend i would recommend taking it up a notch and buying a laptop with an i5 for more mid range performance since you said light weight. The i5 gives you an advantage of more processing power just in case you need it one time or another but it's not great enough to run crysis on max setting which would require an i7 k series. With an i5 you can fit the needs of up to about Battle field or cod on mid settings if you decide to expand your variety of games in the future. It is always recommended to buy something that can run stuff like this for the future so you are not forced to buy a whole new laptop in the future and save some money overall but if you want something a little more light weight and would rather have an i3 i would recommend the 'HP - 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive - Black Licorice" which has 250GB more memory but has the drawback of games with similar performance to minecaraft and possibilities of playing some higher performance games but on limited setting to the point the game would be laggy and terrible quality forcing you to use all low setting's with still a good amount of lag. This will cost you around £205 and have plenty of extra cash for external memory and other accessories like a case and gaming mouse separate but having a gaming mouse on a i3 laptop would be near useless with you select amount of low end games
