 Circular Saw - Bobby
Used a friend's Circular Saw, a cheap £40 one from Screwfix. Was only cutting decking joists but it did the trick and I like the little laser light it shone.
Think this was it

Have been meaning to get one for a while now and wondering if anyone has one, and any specific recommendations, features to go for?

I would initialy just be using it for general cutting rough wood but no doubt as time goes on may want to try more intricate stuff.

Many don't seem to have the laser - is this just a gimmick and a proper "notch" cut out at the saw is a better sight line?

What about guide tracks? They look as if they could be good for straight lines but again, many don't seem to have them?

I would definitely want a carry case and looking at around the £100 ish mark. Oh and would want corded rather than cordless.

Any thoughts?
