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. Stroller.
