Nope. They are identical:
# cat plymouthd.conf
# Administrator customizations go in this file
#[Daemon]
#Theme=fade-in
[Daemon]
Theme=spinfinity

Nope, that's the charge theme fallback.
Both of the laptops run the spinfinity theme. Both of them animate the
infinity logo on a blue background, identically.
Except that this one also shows an all-white progressbar on the bottom, at
the same time as the spinfinity one is being animated.
The charge text-mode fallback is a tri-color progressbar, rendered in text
mode, one character cell at a time; the spinfinity one's an all-white
progressbar, rendered pixel by pixel.
Yup, ok, i'm going to put my confusion down the fact that i've never noticed the bar on the spinfinity theme. :)
Anyway, the only thing that instantly pops to mind is resolution. (I'm also assuming the laptop here, is different to that laptop over there)
So maybe a quick test with something like GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080
That's all that I can think of.....
