For you, the 12mm and stitch for wide. Zoom, the 14-150, a very nice lens on the EM5 MK II with excellent quality.

For your wife, the PL 15, a little wider than the Oly 17 but really either one is a great choice. Buy her a 14-150 too.

Looks like the 14-150 is getting a lot of votes...

I would consider getting the Olympus 9-18, one of my favorites, small and mine has impressive sharpness. With the IBIS, very easy to great indoor shots. The Laowa is nice and small with decent sharpness but I prefer the rendering of my Olympus 9-18.

Computer? An iPad Pro.

I'm a bit old school to consider an iPad a computer, and I just can't get used to iOS... besides, I try to avoid buying anything Apple, except for their stock - part of my retirement plan I use a 2015 MBP, but re-built it for almost free from parts, only cost me a $40 trackpad and some time spent cleaning the boards. For now, it's light enough to travel with.
