10 mins confidence:  peer agreement (net): +3 Hardware
Explanation:
If this is computer related, I'm 99.99% sure HW refers to Hardware. Apple, Microsoft and others make software AND hardware (Although Windows is just software), which is the physical part of computers and electronics in general. I've never seen hardware translated to spanish, they use the same word, or HW.
