Perhaps you need a bigger laptop backpack? I've got a relatively
large backpack -- the main compartment (*not* counting the laptop
compartment) is over five inches thick. It's generally enough for at
least 3-4 textbooks/notebooks. Now, the Inspiron 7500 is, technically,
too big for the laptop compartment, but I can make mine fit (barely) by
turning it sideways (probably not recommended, but it works for me).
The backpack is fairly bulky, though.
[ And it looks like a regular backpack. It doesn't look like some
government-issue, men-in-black, ugly backpack. ]
If you want to see the specs, see:

It depends on the models. Last I looked, all of the really thin &
slim VAIOs did not have built-in CDROM drives.
