if the laptop has a head phone output, you should be able to get a simple adapter from radio shack to convert it to RCA type plugs, or if you head unit has a front mounted input jack, then you just need a male to male adapter cable.

You may find there is a little less volume, but over all I wouldn't think so.

Did you use the headphone jack on the laptop that Icemark mentioned?
