sandbox is the same as development machine?

I always hear the term "sandbox" in software development circle.
Actually what does it really mean? Is it the machine for development,
or testing purposes, not for actual production purposes?

please advise. thanks!!

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

I've heard it used to mean what I understood as "a playground" or
"a trial (and error) area", some place you don't need kept neat, or
some place that can be easily scrapped and used again.

FWIW, it could be some area on a development machine, like a separate
disk drive, for example.

Sandbox is a box used for "proof of concept". Therefore, it is a
development box but a different kind of development is done there
because it's not something that will necessarily go to production. It's
just something being done to proof some concept. At least, that's what
we've used several sandboxes for.

This is a little off topic, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask... I am about to purchase a new development laptop computer. Before I do, I thought I might ask the C# development community if there are any recommendations for a good Visual Studio development machine. Is there any machine or brand out there that has come to be preferred within the development community??? Thanks!
