In most cases, you're better off, at least price-wise, buying your  
netbook elsewhere and installing yourself if you're comfortable doing  
so.

As for new versus refurb, I don't know what they said in the exhibit  
hall. The announcement I saw said you could get a MSI Wind with SA  
installed on it for $399. It didn't specify new or refurb, but  
considering the screen reader is $149 for the Atom edition, that  
leaves $249 for the notebook. What, exactly, were you expecting for  
that price?
