I have no idea how computers work. I tried researching the best gaming laptop that falls under $1000 but I get very confused when hearing or reading things like "core" or "GTX". I'm looking for a gaming laptop that is mostly used for these two games; Minecraft and League of Legends. I also want to be able to use it for school work. Id like one that has a light up keyboard but it's okay if it doesn't.
Can someone recommend me a gaming laptop that falls under my $1000 budget?
Best Budget Gaming Laptop?

Minecraft and LOL? You could spend $300 and cover that.

League of Legends generally recommends a laptop with a dedicated GPU which means you will need a gaming Laptop. Any of the Dell G3 or G5 gaming laptops for around $800 will play League of Legends perfectly and anything else you want in the Steam store.

I'd suggest the entry level Alienware laptop. They usually start around $899-$999.

The big thing for a laptop to be able to play games is getting one that has a dedicated video card, rather than one that has integrated graphics on the CPU.
Cores is basically how many CPUs the laptop has, those games don't really need more than 2, as long as the two cores have decent speed you'll be fine.
GTX is a Nvidia brand video card. The other main competitor is AMD. Either brand of video card should be fine.
You can find the specs you want at a website like Newegg, just check the things you want on the left, then sort by lowest price.
As for what the games need, I like to use this website. Just get a video card faster than the ones they recommend:
And finally comparing video card speed is easiest with benchmark lists, like this one:
There are other lists out there, probably laptop specific ones even.
