I suggest you ask for suggestion from an australian forum instead as they'll have better knowledge about products sold there. TDF has members mostly from India.

Point noted,
Couple more question.
When choosing between i5 and i7 for gamming and development which is more reccomnd.
For my need will i5 be enough or should i get i7.

A quad core i7's(MQ) performance is double that of a core i5.
A core i7U will perform similar to a core i5m.
core i5u~core i3m.

core i7-4xxxMQ/core i7-4xxxMX>>core i7 4xxxU~core i5 4xxxM>>core i5 4xxxU~core i3 4xxxM

xxx=3 random numbers. higher the no, better the card among it's lot(eg. core i7 4800MQ>core i7 4700MQ.).

Try to squeeze in a core i7 quad if you can.

CPU: Intel 4th Generation Core i7-4700MQ 2.40GHz(Turbo 3.4GHz)
64bit OS:Win.7 Pro(Installed)+Win.8 Pro(CD)
RAM: 6GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB SATA
Graphic: Nvidia GT740M Graphics 2GB Dedicated VGA

and Lenovo e540
Intel® Core™ i5-4200M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
Windows 8.1 64
15.6" FHD Antiglare Display (1920 x 1080) Midnight Black
Nvidia® GeForce GT 740M Graphics with 2GB VRAM
8GB DDR3 1600MHz (2 DIMM)
Keyboard with Number Pad - US English

500GB 7200 RPM HDD

both for 1000 dollars.toshiba have an i7 processor and lenovo has a full hd display
any advices?

It's entirely your call.
Both core i7 and FHD display will be good for multi-tasking. FHD is good because you will get more space to do work, it's becomes kinda tedious to multi-task on a HD panel. core i7- no explanation needed.
Another option is to check if the CPU inside the lenovo one is not-soldered and upgradable, as many Lenovo laptops are like that. If this is the case then you can buy a core i7 later and upgrade it yourself because the i5 4200M and core i7 4702QM have the same TDP.

If the lenovo one has a core i7 model then that means its CPU is upgradable.

k,if upgrading the processor later how much is gonna cost.when i did a quick google search it showed 400$
its better to pay 189 dollars now itself and get a upgraded one right?

Yep it's much much better to get the upgrade now. BTW processor price will decrease once Broadwell is released. For eg. 3820QM for my laptop costs 300$ only.
