First time getting a gaming laptop for the go and had some questions about the ROG Strix Scar II .
Does the laptop support XMP memory overclocking past 2666mhz with higher memory, or should I stick with 2666mhz and get dual channel memory with tight timings?
Who makes the NVME drive? I may just switch it out with a Samsung 970 PRO 512GB if it's a mediocre drive.
Any other laptops coming out I should just wait for, this seems like a fair value, and a 1070 non max-Q.
Should I apply liquid metal to CPU/GPU instead of stock paste?

You can use GRUB to manually switch mode of RAM -> i've used to push to 2666Mhz. You can read about here in my thread, and in my thread here on BiosMods. If you're interested, i would ask you to join my efforts for bringing modified BIOS to masses. Thank you)

I can't find any particular reason to by overpriced RTX2070 -> 1070 mod is absoultely fine (ultimate after liquid metal, if you're an enthusiast you can modify cruves and push GTX 1070 really far).
