Phones use cellular towers to geo-locate, predominately, and also GPS if installed. Apple uses Wi-Fi access points to enhance iPhone location accuracy, but it is not the sole source of location. So, none of that is dispositive to what I suggested you investigate.

Since it is a MacBook Air, take it to places that there are likely known Wi-Fi access points and see if it can determine location.
