I wanted to buy a laptop and get rid of windows, because I work practically only in Unix/Linux system. I had no other option than paying additionally for the (doubtful) Windows optimization, which I didn't want at all. My personal opinion about Best Buy / Geek Squad combo is that they try to sell refurbished laptops as new for the higher price. Otherwise the customer should be able to decide whether he/she needs "optimization" or not. The situation explained above happened to me about a year ago.
