Did you mean Dell DRAC? 

This is not obsolete at all, although in current models it is branded iDRAC.

I don't believe DRAC remote access is really related to IPMI, however.
I'm pretty sure that IPMI will work with a PowerEdge even lacking the DRAC module.

OP is taking about having a laptop, anyway, so that seems like a clupea rubra.
