I don't have your specific model but generally computer mic impedence is around 600 ohms from doing a google search. The mic inputs on computers are designed for "computer" mics only, standard P.A. mics or Karaoke type mics will not work as their signal level is much lower than a computer mic.
The mic input on a laptop can also be used for recording from a mono source such as a tape drive. Unfortunatly most laptops do not have a stereo "line in" like desktops.
You can try the Latitude section of the forum - that may get you more info. This is the Dimension Desktop section.
