Dear Yasser, I am by no means an expert on hardware, but I would strongly advise against buying a laptop for the specific purpose of running (any and all) MD simulations. A desktop is much better suited platform for such a task, as you should be able to get a much bigger bang for your buck (this is the main reason, but there are more cons).
Notice that I am not saying that you cannot run MD simulations on a laptop, I'm just advising against it. In fact, you could probably run MD simulations on a smartphone if you wanted to, but it doesn't sound like a very good investment of your time and money. In my *personal opinion*, the same holds true for the laptop.
