Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I think Samsung would be the best option for your wife.As you mentioned that she is currently using Samsung phone so it would be quite easier to use Tab2. Personally, I like Samsung products.
Are you looking for a Laptop or trying to setup a Desktop?
Actually it is difficult to say. If you want to go for Laptop then you may take a look on ASUS.
For Desktop you can buy different parts of different brands.
You may take a look on HTC E9 and Sony Xperia Z5. But I think iPhone 6S plus would be the best option for you. I am currently using iPhone 6S plus and I am in love with it.
