how to install ubuntu on a new laptop without ethernet port?

While installing and downloading drivers at first time installation is it necessary to have ethernet port because I don't have ethernet port and can rely on wireless so can I install ubuntu using wi-fi.?

Solution 1:

Yes, you can.

During the installation you should be asked to connect to your Wi-Fi network. If that does not work at first, you still can install Ubuntu, even without an Internet connection.

Note: Make sure you activate the "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware" option during the installation process; Wi-Fi and GPU should work OK after installation.
