I recently used a handheld circular saw and found it much easier to use

I'll probably get a mains one, especially since I always find that my
rechargable tools have run down when I want to use them. Can anyone
recommend one? I'll be using it for general d-i-y, including cutting
laminate flooring (presumably I need a fine-toothed blade for that).

IME cheap circular saws are fine if you don't need precise adjustment,
and the blades they come with are ok for routine stuff like flooring and
worktops.
I know you get what you pay for but in this instance it's a question of
not paying for what you don't need.
