Some questions you need to answer first:

1 - What is your budget?

2 - What features do you need / want (dvd? cdrw? dvdrw? hard drive size? cpu 
speed? ram? etc.)

3 - How will you buy it? (brand new in Egypt? From eBay? etc.)

There isn't, as far as I know, a make of laptop that is always really good 
with Linux. It comes down to individual models, which is why we'd need to 
know the above.
