Hi, thanks for you very detailed bug report! The USB stick installed by Tails Installer has a GPT partition scheme. Some laptops force UEFI boot when they see GPT partitions, and Tails cannot boot using UEFI. I think this is what is happening to you. And that would explain that the same USB stick boots all-right on other laptops, and that other manual installation methods work on this laptop. What you could do it try to tweak the BIOS settings to disable UEFI or force legacy when trying to boot from the USB stick. I don't know if that is possible on your laptop.
