I am really looking for a good planetarium for my Laptop or desktop,but it looks like I will have to forkout big dollars.
Download Genymotion (www.genymotion.com), it is free (you have to register once) and there is an x86 Android emulator on OSX, Linux or Windows on it which runs Skysafari. And it runs fast !

Skysafari is an excellent app, I have it on my cellphone Xperia Z Ultra which I use in red screen mode as a pocket sky atlas during observing sessions.
