Most likely it's still syncing, or at least trying to sync. Other than for educational purposes or development, there's no point for running steemd on your laptop. It would not help the network as a p2p node because of most likely high latency and poor connectivity (unless your laptop is quite powerful one with FTTH uplink or so).
cli_wallet can let you manage your wallet from the command line, execute some other commands like voting for me as a witness: vote_for_witness blacksheepblog gtg true true.

thank you for the advice, would it be a way for me to see a overall page with steemit nodes connected or some stats for each nodes I might be able to see my latency ?
As soon as your node would start receiving blocks in real time (after initial sync) you would get an info about latency, something like:
