Is it possible to install Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire V7 laptop?

Hello!
Due to the untimely death of my old laptop, I am now forced to choose a new "fighting comrade" for myself. I choose a gadget within 40 thousand rubles. Due to the specifics of the work, I need a fairly productive hardware, and the requirements look something like this: i5 / i7 processor, 6+ Gb Ram, additional CUDA compatible video card, not too large dimensions (because the device is constantly worn with me, the diagonal is needed 14 -15"), the ability to snuggle Ubuntu.
At the moment, the Acer Aspire V7 seems to fit my criteria, but judging by the results of googling, I still could not understand whether it is possible to install Ubuntu on it without special dances with a tambourine? Because had the experience of installing Ubuntu on a previous laptop with a video card from Radeon, then the question is important. Maybe there are owners of this unit, who tried to install linux there? Thanks in advance.
ps if someone advises other devices that fit my description, that would be great too)

It is possible, but if the Radeon is available, then you will have to "mumble" a little (with firewood).

Regarding google - the first link in google www.linlap.com/acer_aspire_v7-582pg
Looks good, but with a fresh kernel I think it's great.

It will be installed, but there is no ubuntu without a tambourine.
Even the logo hints at it.

I am writing this post with an Acer Aspire V5 with nixes on board. I think that there is no fundamental difference between V5 and V7, so it's possible.
However, if there is a desire and interest, then you can "assemble" yourself a laptop with the desired hardware configuration, immediately with the configured ubuntu on board. For example here . You just have to use forwarders, because they do not have shipping to Russia and are not expected in the foreseeable future.
