You can use a circular saw, but place painters tape on the laminate and cut through the tape, using a new, fine-tooth blade. It def doesn't leave a finished edge, but there are a few finishing options depending on the area. If it's enclosed on 3 sides, you can add backsplash to cover the rough edges. If it's exposed edge, you can add trim moulding that's sealed for water exposure. I've also tiled many countertops, which, while sort of time-consuming, is very simple.
