Totally Perfect July 7, 2010

Purchased for my 7 year old daughter, I love this set so much I am getting one for myself as well. I also got an extra set of inside containers and find having 2 sets very helpful. Mesh pocket is perfect for a thin ice pack. I find I am packing much better lunches now with a wider variety of foods.
 daughter loves it June 16, 2010

Neat way to pack a healthy lunch, but vegetables still come back home and cookies still don't no matter how you wrap them up!
perfect! May 31, 2010

This works so well for my daughter's lunch that I am purchasing one for myself. I love the truly trash-free lunch concept, and since my daughter does not eat sandwiches, I find myself using all the compartments for small nibbles and snacks. She does not have access to a microwave, but she's learned to eat food at room temperature, and I've learned to pack more traditional bento foods for her. She's only seven, but I found this to be a perfect size for her. The handy shoulder strap is crucial; due to its size, it will not fit into her backpack. In addition, I love that you can purchase additional compartments of various sizes. She's never complained of anything spilling or mixing together, and I appreciate the fact that everything is dishwasher-safe.
Just wish it wasn't so heavily marketed to kids May 14, 2010

The Laptop Lunch system combines two things. First is the American lunchbox, durable and reusable. Second is the Japanese bento, a way of quickly fitting a well-balanced meal into proper potion sizes. Both of these goals are accomplished very well in this elegant package.
On the first front, this system is incredibly durable. The inner compartments are Tupperware-style solid plastic, the lunchbox is heavy plastic, the knife and fork are real and sturdy stainless steel, the drink container is a good-quality sports bottle, and the insulating bag is the sort of material that you'd expect from quality camping gear. I was immediately impressed on opening the package- the whole system has obviously undergone thorough testing and is ready for years of use and abuse.
On the second, the system is very well-designed to accomplish a variety of meal choices. The Japanese bento comes in an infinite variety of flavors, but the basic system is supposed to adhere to a formula designed to give a perfectly-balanced meal with a minimum of effort. The proper ratio is 3 parts grain (incl. rice, pasta, bread), 2 parts vegetables, 1 part protein, with occasional fruits and fats. This box contains two small containers and two large containers, which you can add up as 3 units (large+small), 2 units (large), and 1 unit (small), satisfying the bento format. Newcomers to the field of bentos need not fear- the lunchbox is equally perfect for storing a more standard American lunch, you just have to keep in mind that American ideas about portion sizes do not line up with proper nutrition standards.
With portion sizes as a theme, this is actually a pretty big lunchbox. Filled to bento standards, which are likely to be lower in calories than most American fare, this kit can easily hold over 1,000 calories. If you're packing a Laptop Lunch for a child, you'll actually want to leave a decent amount of space open to give your kid a proper lunch in terms of calories. If you have a picky eater, there's plenty of space to pack in some variety so they can pick and choose and still get a full meal. Completely filled with some sides added in, there's plenty of room for enough food to satisy even a hard-working adult.
With obesity rates skyrocketing in America, portion control isn't just for kids, and failing to realize that is really the greatest downside to an otherwise perfect lunchtime product. The 2.0 system comes in too many kid-oriented colors and patterns, and the included instructional book (while wonderfully informative) is geared only toward parents preparing meals for kids to take to school. I'm a twenty-something adult, and my wife and I bought a pair of these for portion control reasons. Luckily we're a pretty geeky pair, so I'm fine with my powder blue and neon green and she's fine with her pink flowers, but this is clearly an obstacle for anyone taking lunch to work in a serious business environment. It is worthwhile to note that the same company has a line of "bento buddies" that lets you pick up some extra compartments to get a better overall color scheme, but it's still unfortunate that there isn't a better range of defaults out there. At the time of this review, there was an all-black bento system for sale that's pefectly executive, but at a more expensive price than the standard kit despite identical components, so I can't recommend it.
Despite my gripes about the kiddy-oriented materials, this really is a great and worthwhile investment for anyone. Families get a great system to portion out healthy meals for kids, adults get a wonderful and fun portion control system that will instantly inspire you to all sorts of creativity. You'll be amazed at how simple portion control changes your thinking about lunch, and you'll be thanking yourself for getting the Laptop Lunch kit to do it.
Note on lids: I didn't find this information in any clear spot on this website, so I'll cover it here- only three of the inner compartments have lids (counting the additional lidded dip container). That means two compartments- one large and one small- are not protected against spills. However, the compartments do tuck inside the outer lunchbox, so they're fine serving as anything that doesn't have to be completely sealed, including noodles. Also at time of posting, there was a customer image pointing to extra lids and containers- those extras are part of the "Bento Buddies" system, and are not included in this package.

Both my kids have this lunch system. It has cut down our use of plastic bags to zero. Just be sure to label all parts incase you child loses them. Everything fits perfect.
