Well it certainly seems like enough money! No way to determine if it will
work except to try it - which is worthwhile if (1) you can return the
antenna and get your money back or (2) the cost doesn't matter.
If the wireless nic on your friend's notebook has a removeable antenna, you
might be better off to try putting less elegant gain antennas on both ends,
since the overall gain adds: i.e.; 6dB on each end. This will provide some
noise rejection from other radio sources and probably be considerably less
costly.
In addition to signal loss from everything in the path, you may have
interference problems from other devices sharing the spectrum, perhaps
including others using wireless links. Should be an interesting
experiment!
