OS X : New Compooter

I'm heading overseas for 6 months soon, which has left me with a slight dilemma. I'm not going to be able to transport my fridge-sized PC with me, and my work laptop isn't really suitable for personal use.

Now, the only thing I don't use (and write software for, every flipping day) is a Mac, so I'm pondering on getting one. Does anyone have any tips on what I need to be looking for, and how to get the biggest bang for my bucks? I'm guessing the airport duty-free would be the cheapest place, even compared to the teacher’s discount? Is there only 1 with a 17" screen?

I'm going to be doing the usual, watching DVDs, editing videos, e-mail, Skype and so on, plus a fair amount of coding.
