A class is the same Use and the same CPU launch year: two laptops built in the same year for the same purpose. We judge the Use from the line each laptop belongs to, and the year is the one scale every CPU vendor shares. Each row is the cheapest of its brand in that class today, from every shop we track that ships to you.
