looking to buy a new laptop... i use skype internationally... will the Intel i5 core provide a significant better experience with skype or will the i3 be equally good in this case?

Hi and welcome to toms hardware!

the i5 will do slightly better (especially if you have multiple programs open), but will it offer a significantly better experience, no. Due to the program, skype doesn't need over two cores with 4 threads, it doesn't even need an i3 to run well, a better internet connection will make skype run better at a noticeable difference.
