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: http://www.llbean.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?cgrfnbr=14955&cgmenbr=1&parentCategory=3897&shop_method=pp > Never knew the VAIOs didn't have built-in CDROM drives.

Last I looked, all of the really thin & slim VAIOs did not have built-in CDROM drives. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
