Design and Build
The BenQ EL71 stood out with its minimalistic design and a distinctly modern aesthetic for its time. It was compact, with dimensions measuring 90 x 46.3 x 16.5 mm, and lightweight, tipping the scales at just 94 grams. This made it easy to slip into pockets or small bags without adding noticeable bulk. The device featured a slide mechanism, a popular design choice at the time, which added an element of playfulness and sophistication. Its housing came in a shade BenQ labeled as "Vibrant Grey," giving it a professional look that appealed to both business and personal users.
