A pringles crisp tube (foiled lined ones) is much better and far more directional.

you align the pringles tube with the aerial of the laptop, its normally in the screen side frame.

Can it be a standard sized pringle tube, or does it have to be the larger one?

I'd have thought a Pringles tube was too small a diameter for efficient transmission at 2.4GHz, which that article does sort of confirm, but hey, RF is unpredictable stuff at close quarters.
