Separate of the product itself...I have to compliment whoever designed the landing page! I'm not a UX/UI/page design expert, but here is what i experience:

* the page loads quick - without overlays, distractions, etc. the page gets to the point, and fast

* immediately i see a description of what the product is...this might sound funny, but tons of product sites lack this most basic thing!

* In addition, the very brief video at the top shows a human hand operating the product...so i know even more about its functions, or at least how to interact with product

* a call-to-action of "BUY" is present and impossible to miss, positioned right after/below the product intro/description

* as i scroll down, the experience is NOT janky...its a smooth scroll down the page

* scrolling down informs me more about the product, including its features, different angles of the physical product (to help denote the features), they even squeeze in that there are developer options - so i'm tipped off that its not only a consumer device, but that it can be integrated with other systems, expanded by devs, etc.!

* they include more product photos in order to show how the product may appear and/or be used in real life

* they even include photo and description of certain features - which serve almost as a very brief user guide, but again, i'm sure the intent is to show off the product's feature set

There probably are other great things about this page that i have not noted here...But, again, kudos to the person/team who designed this! I see many teams that are really intelligent, and might have great products/service, but they don;'t include half the elements present here. Because while i don't have interest in this product, damn, this an extremely compelling experience for their product! Cheers and kudos to all involved!!!!!!!

Agree, except the product price could be right on the buy button. Now the analytics won't tell you whether I clicked on the buy button with an intent to buy, or did I just want to know how much it is.

Although i'm 50/50 on showing the price on the button, i absolutely see your point! I think for devices that are "known" - like, say, a pair of headphones - i suppose i might want to know the price right away...however, for other "unknown" devices, i'd actually like to learn more about the product, its features, maybe use-cases, etc...and as one other person rightly noted even the "Why" i might want/need the product...then again, all of this info could still be shown, and displaying the price shouldn't harm that...so yeah, i gues you're right: they should show the price on the button. :-)
