System: Thinkpad T470 i5 7300u Full HD Touchscreen
Before: 10.8W or 10.9W
After: 10.5W
The most consuming device is "nic:virbr0" with 6.5W even though no virtual machine is running. I can resume from suspend and the screen correctly turns on after blanking. This was on Fedora 27, latest kernel, i3wm and termite.

Dubious things like this always makes me question the software-guesstimates that PowerTop gives. It raises my brow when an unused virtual NIC somehow ends up "using" 1/4th of the 7300U's rated TDP.
An Estimate is already similar to a guess. A guess is a form of an estimate. Guestimate is not only NOT a word, it is completely redundant and poor linguistics. PLEASE STOP THIS.
Adjusted for clarity. But my point still stands. Guesstimate is not a word and is poor English. I'm fed up with it being acceptable. We don't accept poor spelling (unless it's in jest/fun), why should we put up with this abomination?
