I want to buy the most modern touch screen laptop, Acer Iconia W510, but I will buy only if I can install Ubuntu on it. I was not able to find the answer when I searched. Does anyone know whether I can install the latest version of Ubuntu on this device?

You can't boot a linux kernel currently on that processor. The intel atom z2760 does not work with linux period.

Verified that the CPU doesn't work on Linux: it's a SOC, even on Windows it requires drivers to be used correctly, and it's the reason modern windows 10 version don't work on it. Even Microsoft gave up on that POS Nov 30, 2020 at 10:44
Acer Iconia W510 Ubuntu
gives quite some results to look into.
