The computer has been replaced about once per year; it is currently (Jan 2009) running on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and the next model will have an X61 at its heart.

Upgrade to Windows XP (in around 2001) The computer is running on Windows XP. For many years it has been impossible to upgrade beyond Windows'98, because Professor Hawking's favourite speech software, Equalizer by Words-Plus, was made in 1986, and was designed to run only on DOS based operating systems. However, Intel has kindly funded the conversion of the software to XP. This involved Words-Plus re-writing the whole program for today’s operating system.
