Did you check if sha256sum provided on the download page matches the one of the ISO you downloaded ? Maybe the download was not complete.

Did you dd if=maui-1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sd? bs=4M
I had to change my USB to a newer one as the first would not boot.
Make sure it is unmounted, before you dd.

It does not matter, I tried from DVD - the same problem.

First, turn of secure boot if it is enabled, you might have better luck with bios (legacy) mode.
Dell only supports Ubuntu 12.04 on this laptop, there are quite a few posts online about upgrades to 14.04lts destroying the install.
You might try searching Dell's Linux forum for a solution.

I do use legacy mode. I use 14.04 on this laptop - it's absolutely fine. Tried Ubuntu 16.04.1 - it works, but internet connection is slow in it. Thanks for link.

OK, but if Ubuntu 16.04.1 works so should Maui (KDE Neon).
Make sure your burning the DVD at the slowest speed possible.
For USB sticks burn the image using dd:.
Code:
dd if=maui-1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sd{X}
Or use ROSA Image Writer:
Windows: http://wiki.rosalab.ru/en/images/6/65/Ro....1-win.zip
Linux 32 bit: http://wiki.rosalab.ru/en/images/b/bd/Ro...n-i686.txz
Linux 64 bit: http://wiki.rosalab.ru/en/images/2/24/Ro...x86_64.txz
