Yes, you can, but only if you are signed into your Apple ID and connected to Wi-Fi. I believe Macs and non-cellular iPads send messages over Wi-Fi to the iMessage servers.

iMessage is entirely internet-based so cellular, if present, is only used as a data connection and otherwise plays no role.

This is so weird, why specifically “Wi-Fi”? Why wouldn’t wired internet or 4G work?
