Not even close, no.

Is it possible yet to replace your laptop with a tablet?
Not unless you don't do much of anything on your laptop. Or you have all the time in the world.

If so what would be my best option? and money wise as well
Buy a $400 laptop that is 10 times more functional than any tablet you can buy from anyone today.

What i need is something light weight,youtube, wifi capable, Emails, Websurfing, video capable, Games (light games nothing crazy nothing heavy on graphics) and can open,edit office files
Get a laptop under 5 lbs. Core i3 or better, 4gb ram or better, 320GB or better disk.

When you can afford to throw away $300-$500, get a tablet to use when you can't be bothered to boot your laptop.

But replace a laptop? No. Not even a netbook can do that. A Macbook Air or whatever clone ripoff with windows you can find - THAT can replace a laptop, but even then the cost for shedding those last couple pounds doesn't justify it. Unless you have money to burn, or your company is buying.
