This Milwaukee circular saw is among the best tools made.  The motor is strong and cuts through the hardest woods with relative ease.  It is well balanced and of moderate weight thanks to the alloy construction.  Fit and finish is suberb, as is the case with most Milwaukee products.  The case is sturdy and a plus if you move your saw frequently between jobs.  The Milwaukee gets 5 stars and is a credit to their line of quality power tools.  I'd buy another one without a second thought.
