If the computer has at least 1GB of RAM, it can be upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8. MacBook Pros with a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU can be upgraded further, but going through Mac OS X 10.6.8 is needed to do so.
You don't need to buy a new computer, as any MacBook Pro model released in the last 5 years with sufficient RAM can run 10.8.3.
