Are you 100% sure that you have the same Skype account (eyadodado) on both computers?

like Ruwiim, I suspect that there is some slight difference between the Skype Names being used on each computer, and that this is the reason why the same contacts are not being displayed on each

 

also, when you import contacts to a client that is NOT aware of any exchange of contact details that may have occured using another computer, they are added as contacts as a convenience only -- iow, it does NOT eliminate the requirement to exchange contact details for each new contact

 

I realize that you expect the contact lists to be the same on each machine because you say that it is the same Skype Name that is involved -- but bear in mind that Skype automatically maintains a backup copy of all contacts associated with a single Skype Name (a Skype Name is equivalent to a Skype account) and automatically synchronizes this contact list to ANY client signed in with the same Skype Name -- the fact that this is apparently not happening adds credence to the notion that you are actually dealing with 2 separate Skype Names

Regards,
Neil

What is the version of Skype program installed on your laptop? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
