Best circular saw ever
The light weight makes handling this saw in awkward positions much easier and safer. 10.5 amps is plenty . This saw is a workhorse . Good pro saw
Great Saw
Excellent Saw. Light weight, very easy to handle, quiet and powerful. Incredible how easy it goes through 2x4's and 2x6's. Wish the case was not plastic but I guess most saws come that way these days. Other then that, I highly recommend it.
Good lightweight. 
Only use occasionally for light weight projects and it performs well, mainly bought for its weight.
One sweet little saw!
I've owned this saw for about a year... in that time it's built a staircase, a monster of a desk, installed laminate flooring, two subwoofer boxes, and a table among other things. The light weight really makes the 5740 helpful on those long extended reach cuts. My dad actually owns the same saw, before the Makita he had a cheap-o skilsaw and I had an ANCIENT (1960's?) Craftsman. The difference in using this saw and either of those is akin to using a scalpel for surgery - or a machete. I shudder thinking about using those old saws in comparison.
Notice that in addition to the light weight, this saw is only generating 10.5 amps, this is a readily noticeable trade off to a heavier, noisier saw. I use this saw with a 40t freud avanti blade on MDF, plywood, etc for precision stuff. It cuts 2X lumber no problem, but it's not really a framing saw.
If you use a circular saw only occasionally, or are looking for something for trim work, pick one of these up, a good 40t blade, and a straightedge. It's a great saw at a really good price.
Lightweight
easy to handle, adequate power. Compact. Reasonable price.
My second saw, chosen for portability & comfort in awkward situations( overhead & in place cuts.)
No dust chute and depth scale by sharpie. Adjustment sticky but accurate. cord exits side of handle. Mine came with an extra blade.
