Looked at your image.
It appears the graphical installation failed to start. Did you read
the text? Did you try the suggestion? I'll retype it here:
* if the graphical installation fails to start, try again with the
inst.text bootoption to start text installation
I suspect that for whatever reason, the graphical installer is failing
on your laptop, probably because it doesn't support your video card.
Try the text-based installer. Sadly, laptops are so varied its quite
often that the video hardware simply isn't supported during install,
and needs a 3rd-party driver to even work.
Don't get too excited about the VNC suggestion. Anaconda (the
software performing the install) has the option to use VNC for a
graphical install if you are installing a headless server. You're
just seeing anaconda log a comment that it wouldn't be available since
you didn't configure networking in the anaconda boot options. So it's
not even trying it. You're just seeing a verbose log entry.
