Took apart a couple of pretty cheap laptops that had these boards.

1: I assume would be classified as a laptop motherboard, but do I remove the chip?

2: peripheral low grade?

3, 5, 6: Think these might just be mid grade, the pins don’t appear to be gold.

4: high peripheral?

1 laptop board
2 Peripheral High Grade
3-5-6 i have sent in as low Peripheral
4 Peripheral High Grade

I agree with austin86.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluations are my own opinion

Chip stays it's soldered on (only remove socketed ones). Remove the steel from the laptop mobo, I usually push the on the standoffs (where the fan/heatsink was screwed to) to break the adhesive

I've always done 3,5,6 as midgrade, but that's a habit from before the peripheral split, is there really enough there to bump up?

Rest I agree with.

I sent them in as low peripheral more then a few times.
