I think you're quite out of luck trying to find good free RPGs (maybe there's one or two? I don't recall any unless you start counting roguelikes and whatnot). There's plenty of rather good proprietary games though.

Roguelikes FTW.

Just google ADOM, TOME, Angband, etc....

IVAN, too.

Although that would be better minus the comedy element, in my opinion.

you want single player RPG that's also free and can be played on the labtop?

Huh. I opened http://happypenguin.org to take a squizz and the first entry's a new RPG. :)

Have you tried the Hero of Allacrost and Adonthell demos?

But yeh, it's pretty much all roguelikes, though some of them are very pretty (S.C.O.U.R.G.E for example).

Note: HappyPenguin is a Linux Gaming site, but an awful lot of games available for Wesnoth are made using cross-platform libraries and available on Windows as well.

There are a number of RPGs that would likely run on a laptop created by Richard Gariott. They aren't free but they are cheap and quality.

My favorite is the Avernum series.

Helherron's good. 8 PC party, it's a true old-school RPG.

Get past the Ultima V style graphics, and you have a high quality RPG - it's all about the party-based combat, and the combat is better than 95% of the old school RPGs that have ever been made.

The Linux version is the most stable one.

Some class/race combos are useless, research the forums before you create your party! Enjoy

If by "RPG", you mean "define your own victoy condition", give Dwarf Fortress a try!
Shiny new version with 3D-fortressing and fluid mechanics coming up in a fortnight or so :D
Play Dwarf Fortress, where berserker dwarves really make you cry!
