I'm guessing that this is the laptop he uses now:
http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html
The world's first fully open hardware/software. All system source(BIOS, kernel, drivers etc.) are open source, no close firmware needed.
CPU: STLS 2F(Loongson 2F) 900MHz, with integrated DDR2 controller and PCI controller

The end of this article contains a few more details on Richard Stallman's new choice of laptop. It is slightly ironic that the world's first "free" (by Richard Stallman's definition) laptop is produced by China -- a country notorious for cracking down on human rights. I guess it's the difference between freedom of speech and freedom of "intellectual propety".
