Initially I'd drill a hole in the laminate corners to prevent breakout. This could also be used to start or terminate a cut made by a jigsaw.
Whether cut by hand or machine, I'd make sure any saw had a fine toothed blade.....if you fancy using a jigsaw, consider using a sheet of ply (6mm) both below and above the laminate, clamping it down and then sawing through both. The laminate mustn't be allowed to 'chatter'.
Presumably you have a template to work to?

Get yourself a Goscut 2000 off eBay. Best tool ever for cutting laminates (but still drill the corners first as John suggests to prevent cracks propagating from them). I've had one (complete with 3 blades) since the early 1970s. Later ones were sold as the Eclipse 2000
Yes. AFAIK most horizontal grade laminate is 2 to 2.5mm thick - some of the special surface finish stuff is a lot thicker. They'll cut ally sheet as well. The trick is to buy one with all THREE cutters
