They come with a 3 year warranty as well which is a bonus. Unless you are stupid like me and forget to register for the extended part of the warranty.
I'd rather have a better quality tool with a lead on it. No point paying for a battery and a charger I don't really need.
I'd recommend an impact driver over a screwdriver. It's such a better tool for putting up shelves and stuff.

Mains is good for some things, particularly for heavier work, but cordless has caught up and (mostly) exceeded it, because it's getting rare you're allowed to use anything corded on a building site. The result is that most of the research has gone into cordless because that's where most trade sales are.
On a limited budget I'd probably have a cheap corded and a small light cordless - the latter for getting into smaller spaces.
I use it for everything lol
prob cos it's smaller, lighter and can get in tight spaces.
I tend to like different drill \ drivers for different jobs. For heavy duty hammer drilling and driving in large screws or bolts I use 18V Hitachi's . For putting up guttering on a ladder then something less powerful and very light is handy to have.
The only time I would use a non cordless drill nowadays would be when using large SDS bits in deep blocks.
It's perfectly good for that sort of work, anything heavier and IMO you should be using a corded SDS drill. I've used one of the TITAN ones that @Sambostar mentioned to drill holes for vents and waste pipes through brick and found it perfectly fine.
Cordless has the advantage that you can use it at the bottom of the garden in the shed etc, which is a big plus for me.
