    I have Mac Book Pro Early 2008 - it works with OS X El Capitan just fine, but slow. It's ok for building and testing, but too slow for developing.

    No; see the Unity system requirements. But even if you could run Unity, XCode typically requires the latest, or almost latest OS.

    the problem wouldn't neccessarily be the hardware, but xcode. for developing simple mobile apps, the hardware itself would be sufficient.

    The problem is indeed the hardware, which is too old to run a new(ish) OS, and that's a requirement for making iOS apps.

    No need; the screenshot says version 2,1. It's too old and won't upgrade past 10.6.

    Okay. I updated my post. Still that's a shame it's just barely too old.

    Yes, you can develop your app at desktop, and then transfer (SVN, Dropbox, etc.) to macbook to make/compile XCode Project and upload to device or iTunes Connect
