Agha RM, I think BT meant Matte finish rather than shiny.
Are you putting this floor in the main living space or basement/playroom area?
I installed Pergo laminate flooring in the basement last year and it's not hard to install. The pieces are about 27" x 5' interlocking for easy installation. The surface is very hard and scratch resistance. It is so hard that you'd probably need a new blade after 80-100 cuts.
It is best to remove your baseboard molding, install the floor and then put the base back over the floor to cover the corner cuts. You might need a tool specifically sold to pull in the last row as you get close to the end wall and have no room to swing a hammer. There is also a tool to tap the pieces so they lock into each other which I think you won't need to buy. Instead, you can use a scrap piece of the laminate to tap the board in with a hammer.
