A very nice laptop indeed....

About 3 - 3.5 hours on a full charge and depending on how many times
the battery has already been charged. A replacement costs about $120
direct from Apple.

Can't help you there, I have the 17" 2003 1GHz model.

An add-on USB bluetooth module from Apple/D-Link for about $40.

Hmmm... not sure. I got into Apple after OS X came out and never
bothered with the old OS.

It would be a bit of a stretch for it, but should run it okay.

Sorry, can't help with this question.
Cheers,
