Hooking a turntable to a laptop in order to record

I have a dual 1212 turntable. Is it even possible to connect this to a laptop for vinyl --> mp3 purposes?

Can i use the cable that has the red/white RCA plugs on one end and the headphone plug on the other end to play it into the headphone jack on the laptop? or does it need to go through a preamp first
Basically Im very confused and would appreciate some clarifications.

Lloyd. I think you are mistaken. Many computers have
mic inputs and the do the AD conversion internally. I can't say how well. Better to use an external USB AD converter.
